What to do in an emergency
NOTICE
Check the inflation pressure after
installing the spare tire. Adjust it to
the specified pressure, as neces
sary.
When using a compact spare tire,
observe the following precautions:
Under no circumstances should
you exceed 80 km/h (50 mph); a
higher speed could damage the
tire.
Ensure that you drive slowly
enough to avoid all hazards. Any
road hazard, such as a pothole or
debris, could seriously damage
the compact spare.
Any continuous road use of this
tire could result in tire failure, loss
of vehicle control, and possible
personal injury.
Do not exceed the vehicle's maxi
mum load rating or the load-car
rying capacity shown on the
sidewall of the compact spare
tire.
Avoid driving over obstacles. The
compact spare tire diameter is
smaller than the diameter of a
conventional tire and reduces the
ground clearance approximately
2.5 cm (1 inch), which could result
in damage to the vehicle.
Do not take the vehicle through
an automatic car wash while the
compact spare tire is installed.
If you have a flat tire (with spare tire)
Do not use tire chains on the tem
porary compact tire. Because of
the smaller size, a tire chain will
not fit properly. This could dam
age the vehicle and result in loss
of the chain.
Temporary compact tire should
not be installed on the front axle
if the vehicle must be driven in
snow or on ice.
Do not use the temporary com
pact tire on any other vehicle
because this tire has been
designed especially for your vehi
cle.
The temporary compact tire tread
life is shorter than a regular tire.
Inspect your temporary compact
tire regularly and replace worn
compact spare tires with the
same size and design, mounted on
the same wheel.
The temporary compact tire
should not be used on any other
wheels, nor should standard tires,
snow tires, wheel covers or trim
rings be used with the temporary
compact spare wheel. If such use
is attempted, damage to these
items or other car components
may occur.
Do not use more than one tempo
rary compact tire at a time.
Do not tow a trailer while the
temporary compact tire is
installed.
