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 inflation pressure of the
compact spare tire every time you
check the other tires. It should be
inflated to:
60 psi (420 kPa , 4.20 kgf/cm )
Follow these precautions:
Never exceed 50 mph (80 km/h)
under any circumstances.
This tire gives a harsher ride and
less traction on some road sur-
faces. Use greater caution while
driving on this tire.

Taking Care of the Unexpected
Do not mount tire chains on it.
Do not use your compact spare
tire on another vehicle unless it is
the same make and model.
Type-S only
Do not drive with the compact
spare tire mounted on the front
wheels for a long period; it will
damage the Limited Slip
Differential.
