Important - use of compact spare
tire (if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a
compact spare tire. This compact
spare tire takes up less space than a
regular- size tire. This tire is smaller
than a conventional tire and is
designed for temporary use only.
CAUTION
• You should drive carefully when
the compact spare is in use. The
compact spare should be replaced
by the proper conventional tire
and rim at the first opportunity.
• The operation of this vehicle is not
recommended with more than one
compact spare tire in use at the
same time.
WARNING
The compact spare tire is for
emergency use only. Do not operate
your vehicle on this compact spare
at the speed over 80 km/h (50 mph).
The original tire should be repaired
or replaced as soon as possible to
avoid failure of the spare possibly
leading to personal injury or death.
The compact spare should be
inflated to 420 kPa (60 psi).
CAUTION
Check the inflation pressure after
installing the spare tire. Adjust it to
the specified pressure, as necessary.
When using a compact spare tire,
observe the following precautions:
• Under no circumstances should
you exceed 80 km/h (50 mph); a
higher speed could damage the
tire.
• Ensure that you drive slowly
enough 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
tire could result in tire failure, loss
of vehicle control, and possible
personal injury.
• Do not exceed the vehicle’s
maximum load rating or the load-
carrying capacity shown on the
sidewall of the compact spare tire.
• Avoid driving over obstacles. The
compact spare tire diameter is
smaller than the diameter of a
conventional tire and reduces the
ground clearance approximately
2.5 cm (1 inch), which could result
in damage to the vehicle.
• Do not take the vehicle through
an automatic car wash while the
compact spare tire is installed.
• Do not use tire chains on the
temporary compact tire. Because
of the smaller size, a tire chain
