When using the compact spare tire
As the compact spare tire is not equipped with a tire pressure warning valve and trans-

warning system. Also, if you replace the compact spare tire after the tire pressure warn-
ing light comes on, the light remains on.

The vehicle becomes lower when driving with the compact spare tire compared to when
driving with standard tires.

ing steps and fit tire chains to the front tires:
