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 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

which can damage the tyre,
