Compact Spare Tire

Use the compact spare tire as a
temporary replacement only. Get
your regular tire repaired or replaced,
and put it back on your vehicle as
soon as you can.

check the other tires. It should be
inflated to:

Follow these precautions:
Never exceed 80 km/h (50 mph).
This tire gives a harsher ride and
less traction on some road sur-
faces. Use greater caution while
driving.
Do not mount snow chains on the
compact spare tire.
Do not use your compact spare
tire on another vehicle unless it is
the same make and model.
