Compact Spare Tire - Honda 2012 Pilot Owner's Manual

Compact Spare Tire

Use the compact spare tire as a
temporary replacement only. Get
your regular tire repaired or replaced,
and put it back on your vehicle as
soon as you can.
Check the air pressure of the
compact spare tire every time you
check the other tires. It should be
inflated to:
60 psi (420 kPa , 4.2 kgf/cm )
Follow these precautions:
Never exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).
This tire gives a harsher ride and
less traction on some road
surfaces. Use greater caution
while driving.
Do not mount snow chains on a
compact spare.
Do not use your compact spare
tire on another vehicle unless it is
the same make and model.

Otherwise the hoist will not fully
return to its original position.

indicator comes on and the low tire
pressure indicator goes off.

several miles (kilometers) driving
with the spare, this indicator begins
to flash, then stays on again. You will
also see a ''CHECK TPMS

information display (see page
