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.
Notice: 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.
Notice: Tyre chains will not fit the
compact spare. Using them can
damage the vehicle and the
chains. Do not use tyre chains on
the compact spare.
WARNING
Do not use the spare tyre on
other vehicles.
Do not mix the compact spare
tyre or wheel with other wheels or
tyres. They will not fit.
Keep the spare tyre and its wheel
together.
