Don't use your compact spare on other vehicles.
And don't
mix
your compact spare tire or wheel with
other wheels or tires. They won't fit. Keep your spare
tire and its wheel together.
NOTICE:
Tire chains won't fit your compact spare. Using
them can damage your vehicle and can damage
the chains too. Don't use tire chains on your
compact spare.
If You're Stuck: In Sand, Mud,
Ice or Snow
What you don't want to do when your vehicle is stuck is
to spin your wheels too fast. The method known as
"rocking" can help you get out when you're stuck, but
you must use caution.

If you let your tires spin at high speed, they can
explode, and you or others could be injured. And,
the transaxle or other
parts of
the vehicle can
overheat. That could cause an engine
compartment fire or other damage. When you're
stuck, spin the wheels
as
little as possible. Don't
spin the wheels above

mph (55
km/h)
as shown
