Compact Spare Tyre

Warning
Driving with more than one compact
spare tyre at a time could result in loss
of braking and handling. This could lead
to a crash and you or others could be
injured. Use only one compact spare tyre
at a time.
If this vehicle has a compact spare tyre, it
was fully inflated when new; however, it
can lose air over time. Check the inflation
pressure regularly. It should be 420 kPa
(60 psi).
Stop as soon as possible and check that the
spare tyre is correctly inflated after being
installed on the vehicle. The compact spare
tyre is designed for temporary use only. The
vehicle will perform differently with the
spare tyre installed and it is recommended
that the vehicle speed be limited to
80 km/h (50 mph). To conserve the tread of
the spare tyre, have the standard tyre
repaired or replaced as soon as convenient
and return the spare tyre to the
storage area.
When using a compact spare tyre, the AWD
(if equipped), ABS, and Traction Control
systems may engage until the spare tyre is
recognised by the vehicle, especially on
slippery roads. Adjust driving to reduce
possible wheel slip.
Caution
When the compact spare is installed, do
not take the vehicle through an
automatic car wash with guide rails. The
compact spare can get caught on the rails
which can damage the tyre, wheel, and
other parts of the vehicle.
Do not use the compact spare on other
vehicles.
Do not mix the compact spare tyre or wheel
with other wheels or tyres. They will not fit.
Keep the spare tyre and its wheel together.
Caution
Tyre chains will not fit the compact
spare. Using them can damage the
vehicle and the chains. Do not use tyre
chains on the compact spare.
