Compact Spare Tire

WARNING
Driving with more than one
compact spare tire 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 tire at a time.
If this vehicle has a compact
spare tire, it was fully inflated when
the vehicle was new; however, it
can lose air after a time. Check the
inflation pressure regularly. It should
be 420 kPa (60 psi).

Vehicle Care
After installing the compact
spare on the vehicle, stop as
soon as possible and make sure
the spare tire is correctly inflated.
The compact spare is made to
perform well at speeds up to
105 km/h (65 mph) for distances up
to 5 000 km (3,000 mi), so you can
finish your trip and have the full-size
tire repaired or replaced at your
convenience. Of course, it is best
to replace the spare with a full-size
tire as soon as possible. The spare
tire will last longer and be in good
shape in case it is needed again.
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 tire, wheel and
other parts of the vehicle.
