What to do in an emergency
僅 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 emergency
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 pos-
sible to avoid failure of the spare possi-
bly leading to personal injury or death.
The compact spare should be inflated to
420 kPa (60 psi).
NOTICE
Check the inflation pressure after install-
ing the spare tire. Adjust it to the speci-
fied pressure, as necessary.
When using a compact spare tire,
observe the following precautions:
僅 Under no circumstances should you
exceed 80 km/h (50 mph); a higher
speed could damage the tire.
僅 Ensure that you drive slowly enough
to avoid all hazards. Any road hazard,
such as a pothole or debris, could seri-
ously damage the compact spare.
僅 Any continuous road use of this tire
could result in tire failure, loss of vehi-
cle control, and possible personal
injury.
僅 Do not exceed the vehicle's maximum
load rating or the load-carrying
capacity shown on the sidewall of the
compact spare tire.
僅 Avoid driving over obstacles. The
compact spare tire diameter is smaller
than the diameter of a conventional
tire and reduces the ground clearance
If you have a flat tire (with spare tire)
approximately 2.5 cm (1 inch), which
could result in damage to the vehicle.
僅 Do not take the vehicle through an
automatic car wash while the com-
pact spare tire is installed.
僅 Temporary compact tire should not
be installed on the front axle if the
vehicle must be driven in snow or on
ice.
僅 Do not use the temporary compact
tire on any other vehicle because this
tire has been designed especially for
your vehicle.
僅 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.
僅 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, dam-
age to these items or other car com-
ponents may occur.
僅 Do not use more than one temporary
compact tire at a time.
僅 Do not tow a trailer while the tempo-
rary compact tire is installed.
