What to do in an emergency
failure of the spare possibly leading
to personal injury or death.
The compact spare should be
inflated to 420 kPa (60 psi).
NOTICE
Check the inflation pressure after
installing the spare tyre. Adjust it to
the specified pressure, as neces -
sary.
When using a compact spare tyre,
observe the following precautions:
Under no circumstances should
you exceed 80 km/h (50 mph); a
higher speed could damage the
tyre.
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
tyre could result in tyre failure,
loss of vehicle control, and possi -
ble 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
tyre.
Avoid driving over obstacles. The
compact spare tyre diameter is
smaller than the diameter of a
conventional tyre and reduces the
ground clearance approximately
7
20
If you have a flat tyre (with spare tyre)
2.5 cm (1 inch), which could result
in damage to the vehicle.
Do not take the vehicle through
an automatic car wash whilst the
compact spare tyre is installed.
Do not use tyre chains on the
temporary compact tyre. Because
of the smaller size, a tyre chain
will not fit properly. This could
damage the vehicle and result in
loss of the chain.
Temporary compact tyre 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 tyre on any other vehicle
because this tyre has been
designed especially for your vehi -
cle.
The temporary compact tyre
tread life is shorter than a regular
tyre. Inspect your temporary
compact tyre regularly and
replace worn compact spare tyres
with the same size and design,
mounted on the same wheel.
The temporary compact tyre
should not be used on any other
wheels, nor should standard
tyres, snow tyres, wheel covers or
trim rings be used with the tem -
porary compact spare wheel. If
such use is attempted, damage to
these items or other car compo -
nents may occur.
Do not use more than one tempo -
rary compact tyre at a time.
