Compact Spare Tyre
{
Warning
Driving with more than one
compact spare tyre at a time could
result in loss of braking and
handling. This could lead to a crash
and you or others could be injured.
Use only one compact spare tyre at
a time.
If this vehicle has a compact spare
tyre, it was fully inflated when new;
however, it can lose air over time.
Check the inflation pressure regularly.
It should be 420 kPa (60 psi).
Stop as soon as possible and check
that the spare tyre is correctly inflated
after being installed on the vehicle.
The compact spare tyre is designed for
temporary use only. The vehicle will
perform differently with the spare tyre
installed and it is recommended that
the vehicle speed be limited to
80 km/h (50 mph). To conserve the
tread of the spare tyre, have the
standard tyre repaired or replaced as
soon as convenient and return the
spare tyre to the storage area.
When using a compact spare tyre, the
AWD (if equipped), ABS, and Traction
Control systems may engage until the
spare tyre is recognised by the vehicle,
especially on slippery roads. Adjust
driving to reduce possible wheel slip.
Caution
When the compact spare is
installed, do not take the vehicle
through an automatic car wash
with guide rails. The compact spare
can get caught on the rails which
can damage the tyre, wheel, and
other parts of the vehicle.
Do not use the compact spare on
other vehicles.
