What to do in an emergency
• Avoid driving over obstacles. A
compact spare tire diameter is
smaller than one of an original tire,
and the ground clearance is short-
er by approximately 1 inch (25
mm). This may damage you vehi-
cle.
• Do drive through an automatic car
wash while the compact spare tire
is installed.
• Do not use tire chains on a com-
pact spare tire. Because of the size
difference, a tire chain will not tight-
ly fit. This may result in loss of the
chain and damage the vehicle.
• Do not use your compact spare tire
on any other vehicles. This com-
pact spare tire is designed exclu-
sively for your vehicle.
• The tread life of a compact spare
tire is shorter than other regular
tires. Inspect your compact spare
tire on a regular basis, and, if worn
out, replace it with the one of the
same size and the same design.
• A compact spare tire should not be
used on any other wheels, nor
should a compact spare wheel be
used for standard tires, snow tires,
snow tire wheel covers or snow tire
trim rings. This attempt may dam-
age the above items or other com-
ponents.
• Do not use more than one compact
spare tire at the same time.
• Do not tow a trailer while the com-
pact spare tire is installed.

NOTICE
When a tire or a wheel is repaired
or reinstalled, the wheel nut
torque must be correctly set to
prevent any wheel vibrations. The
correct wheel nut torque is 65 ~ 79
lb-ft (9 ~ 11 kg.m).
