What to do in an emergency
WARNING
Wheels may have sharp edges. Han
dle them carefully to avoid possible
severe injury. Before putting the
wheel into place, be sure that there
is nothing on the hub or wheel (such
as mud, tar, gravel, etc.) that inter
feres with the wheel from fitting
solidly against the hub.
If there is, remove it. If there is not
good contact on the mounting sur
face between the wheel and hub,
the wheel nuts could come loose
and cause the loss of a wheel. Loss
of a wheel may result in loss of con
trol of the vehicle. This may cause
serious injury or death.

If you have a flat tire (with spare tire)
Important use of compact spare
tire (if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a com
pact spare tire. This compact spare
tire takes up less space than a regu
lar- size tire. This tire is smaller
than a conventional tire and is
designed for temporary use only.
CAUTION
You should drive carefully when
the compact spare is in use. The
compact spare should be replaced
by the proper conventional tire
and rim at the first opportunity.
The operation of this vehicle is
not recommended with more than
one compact spare tire in use at
the same time.
WARNING
The compact spare tire is for emer
gency use only. Do not operate your
vehicle on this compact spare at the
speed over 80 km/h (50 mph). The
original tire should be repaired or
replaced as soon as possible to avoid
failure of the spare possibly leading
to personal injury or death.
The compact spare should be
inflated to 420 kPa (60 psi).
