The compact spare tyre and wheel in your vehicle are
specifically for this model. Do not use them with
another vehicle. Do not use another type of compact

the full-size rear tyres and replace it with the compact
spare tyre. Remove the flat front tyre and replace it
with the full-size tyre that was removed from the rear.
Mount the tyre chains on the front tyre.

while driving.

The compact spare tyre is smaller than the regular tyre.
Your vehicle's ground clearance reduces when the
compact spare tyre is installed. Driving over road debris or
bumps could possibly damage the underside of your
