What to do in an emergency

Important - use of compact spare

tire (if equipped)

Your vehicle is equipped with a com-

pact spare tire. This compact spare

tire takes up less space than a regu-

lar-size tire. This tire is smaller than a

conventional tire and is designed for

temporary use only.

• 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.

The compact spare should be inflat-

ed to 420 kPa (60 psi).

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 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 tire

could result in tire failure, loss of

vehicle control, and possible per-

sonal 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 tire.

• Avoid driving over obstacles. The

compact spare tire diameter is

smaller than the diameter of a con-

ventional tire and reduces the

ground clearance approximately

25 mm (1 inch), which could result

in damage to the vehicle.

WARNING - Spare tire

Do not operate your vehicle on

this compact spare at speeds

over 80 km/h (50 mph). The

compact spare tire is for emer-

gency use only. The original tire

should be repaired or replaced

as soon as is possible to avoid

failure of the spare.
