NOTICE
When the original tire and wheel are

cle, the lug nut torque must be set
correctly to prevent wheel vibration.
The correct lug nut tightening
torque is 9-11 kg.m (65-79 lb.ft).

To prevent damaging the com-
pact spare tire and your vehicle:
•
Drive slowly enough for the
road conditions to avoid all
hazards, such as a potholes
or debris.
•
Avoid driving over obstacles.
The compact spare tire diame-
ter is smaller than the diame-
ter of a conventional tire and
reduces the ground clearance
approximately 25 mm (1 in).
•
Do not use tire chains on the
compact spare tire. Because
of the smaller size, a tire chain
will not fit properly.
•
Do not use the compact spare
tire on any other wheels, nor
should standard tires, snow
tires, wheel covers or trim
rings be used with the com-
pact spare wheel.
CAUTION
