For emergencies
CAUTION
!
● The vehicle must not be driven at speeds in excess of
80 km/h (50 mph) while using the compact spare
wheel.
● The compact spare tyre is not as good as a standard
tyre in controllability and stability. When the com-
pact spare tyre is used, avoid quick starts, sudden
braking and sharp steering.
● Avoid driving through automatic vehicle washers
and over obstacles that could possibly damage the
vehicle's undercarriage. Because the compact spare
wheel is smaller than the original wheel, ground
clearance is slightly reduced.
● The compact spare wheel is specifically designed for
your vehicle and it should not be used on any other
vehicle.

CAUTION
!
● Do not use a tyre chain with your compact spare
wheel. Because of the smaller tyre size, a tyre chain
will not fit properly. This could cause damage to the
wheel and result in the loss of the chain.
If a front tyre becomes flat when using tyre chains,
first replace a rear wheel with the compact spare
wheel and then use the removed rear wheel to
replace the flat front wheel so that you can continue
to use the chains.
