In case of an emergency

The compact spare should be inflat-
ed to 60 psi (420 kPa).
✽ ✽
NOTICE
Check the inflation pressure after
installing the spare tyre. Adjust it to
the specified pressure, as necessary.
When using a compact spare tyre,
observe the following precautions:
• Under no circumstances should
you exceed 50 mph (80 km/h); a
higher speed could damage the
tyre.
• Ensure that you drive slowly
enough for the road conditions to
avoid all hazards. Any road hazard,
such as a pothole or debris, could
seriously damage the compact
spare.
• Any continuous road use of this
tyre could result in tyre failure, loss
of vehicle control, and possible
personal injury.
• Do not exceed the vehicle’s maxi-
mum load rating or the load-carry-
ing capacity shown on the sidewall
of the compact spare tyre.
• Avoid driving over obstacles. The
compact spare tyre diameter is
smaller than the diameter of a con-
ventional tyre and reduces the
ground clearance approximately 1
inch (25 mm), which could result in
damage to the vehicle.
• Do not take this vehicle through an
automatic car wash.
• Do not use tyre chains on this tyre.
Because of the smaller size, a tyre
chain will not fit properly. This could
damage the vehicle and result in
loss of the chain.
• This tyre should not be installed on
the front axle if the vehicle must be
driven in snow or on ice.
• Do not use the compact spare tyre
on any other vehicle because this
tyre has been designed especially
for your vehicle.
• The compact spare tyre’s tread life is
shorter than a regular tyre. Inspect
your compact spare tyre regularly
and replace worn compact spare
tyres with the same size and design,
mounted on the same wheel.
• The temporary spare tyre should not
be used on any other wheels, nor
should standard tyres, snow tyres,
wheel covers or trim rings be used
with the temporary spare wheel. If
such use is attempted, damage to
these items or other car compo-
nents may occur.
• Do not use more than one tempo-
rary spare tyre at a time.
• Do not tow a trailer whilst the tem-
porary spare tyre is installed.
WARNING
This spare tyre should be used
only for VERY short distances.
Compact spares should NEVER
be used for long drives or
extended distances.
