a compact spare tire is in use.
The compact spare tire should
immediately be replaced with a
proper regular tire.
• Driving on more than one com-
pact spare tire is not recom-
mended.
What to do in an emergency
A compact spare tire is for
emergency use only. Do not
drive your vehicle on this com-
pact spare at a speed over 50
mph (80 km/h). Replacement
with a proper regular tire should
immediately be done to avoid
failure of the spare tire, possibly
leading to a personal injury or
death.

Check the inflation pressure after
installing a spare tire. Adjust its pres-
sure to the recommended level, if nec-
essary.
When using a compact spare tire,
take the following precautions:
• Under no circumstances should a
driving speed exceed 50 mph (80
km/h). A higher speed may dam-
age the tire.
• You should drive slowly enough to
avoid all hazards in accordance of
road conditions. Any road hazard,
such as a pothole or debris, may
seriously damage a compact
spare.
• Any continuous driving on a spare
tire may result in tire failure, loss of
vehicle control, and a possible per-
sonal injury.
• Do not exceed the vehicle's maxi-
mum weight capacity or the load
capacity, which is detailed on a
side of a compact spare tire.
