spare tyre. Go to a dealer as soon as possible to have the full-size tyre repaired or
replaced.

a full-size tyre as soon as possible.
The compact spare tyre and wheel in your vehicle are

another vehicle. Do not use another type of compact

the full-size rear tyres and replace it with the compact
spare tyre. Remove the flat front tyre and replace it
with the full-size tyre that was removed from the rear.
Mount the tyre chains on the front tyre.
A compact spare tyre gives a harsher ride and less
traction on some road surfaces. Use greater caution
while driving.
Do not use more than one compact spare tyre at the
same time.
The compact spare tyre is smaller than the regular
tyre. Your vehicle's ground clearance reduces when
the compact spare tyre is installed. Driving over road
debris or bumps could possibly damage the
underside of your vehicle.
