MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE
Do not install a wheel cover or attempt to mount a conventional tire on the compact
spare wheel, since the wheel is designed specifically for the compact spare tire. Do not
install more than one compact spare tire and wheel on the vehicle at any given time.
Compact and Collapsible spares are for temporary emergency use only. With
these spares, do not drive more than 50 mph (80 km/h). Temporary use spares
have limited tread life. When the tread is worn to the tread wear indicators, the
temporary use spare tire needs to be replaced. Be sure to follow the warnings,
which apply to your spare. Failure to do so could result in spare tire failure and
loss of vehicle control.
Collapsible Spare Tire — If Equipped
The collapsible spare is for temporary emergency use only. You can identify if your
vehicle is equipped with a collapsible spare by looking at the spare tire description
on the Tire and Loading Information Placard located on the driver's side door
opening or on the sidewall of the tire.
Collapsible spare tire description example: 165/80-17 101P.
Since this tire has limited tread life, the original equipment tire should be repaired
(or replaced) and reinstalled on your vehicle at the first opportunity.
Inflate collapsible tire only after the wheel is properly installed to the vehicle. Inflate
the collapsible tire using the electric air pump before lowering the vehicle.
