When using the compact spare tire
As the spare tire is not equipped with the tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter, low inflation pressure of the spare tire will not be warned.
Also, if you replace the compact spare tire after the tire pressure warning
light comes on, the light remains on.
n
Compact spare tire
The compact tire saves space in your luggage compartment,
and its lighter weight helps to enhance fuel economy and per-
mits easier installation in case of a flat tire.
The compact spare tire is
designed for temporary emer-
gency use only.
