What to do in an emergency
The operation of this vehicle is
not recommended with more than
one compact spare tire in use at
the same time.
WARNING
Spare tire
The compact spare tire is for emer -
gency use only. Do not operate your
vehicle on this compact spare at
speeds over 50 mph (80 km/h). The
original tire should be repaired or
replaced as soon as possible to avoid
failure of the spare, possibly leading
to bodily injury or death.
The compact spare should be
inflated to 60 psi (420 kPa).
NOTICE
Check the inflation pressure after
installing the spare tire. Adjust it to
the specified pressure, as neces -
sary.
When using a compact spare tire,
observe the following precautions:
Under no circumstances should
you exceed 50 mph (80 km/h); a
higher speed could damage the
tire.
Ensure that you drive slowly
enough for the road conditions to
avoid all hazards. Any road haz -
ard, such as a pothole or debris,
If you have a flat tire (with spare tire)
could seriously damage the com -
pact spare.
Any continuous road use of this
tire could result in tire failure, loss
of vehicle control, and possible
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
tire.
Avoid driving over obstacles. The
compact spare tire diameter is
smaller than the diameter of a
conventional tire and reduces the
ground clearance approximately 1
inch (25 mm), which could result
in damage to the vehicle.
Do not take this vehicle through
an automatic vehicle wash while
the compact spare tire is installed.
Do not use tire chains on the
compact spare tire. Because of
the smaller size, a tire chain will
not fit properly. This could dam -
age the vehicle and result in loss
of the chain.
Do not use the compact spare tire
on any other vehicle because this
tire has been designed especially
for your vehicle.
The compact spare tire's tread life
is shorter than a regular tire.
Inspect your compact spare tire
regularly and replace worn com -
pact spare tires with the same
size and design, mounted on the
same wheel.
