Your vehicle has a compact spare tire that takes up less space. Use thisspare tire as a temporary replace-
ment only. Get your regular tire
repaired or replaced and put 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 , 4.2 kgf/cm2)

Follow these
precautions whenever

you are using the compact spare tire:

Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h)

less traction on some road sur-

greater caution while driving on

this tire.
Do not mount snow chains on the

compact spare.

The wheel of the compact spare
tire is designed especially to fit

your vehicle. Do not use your
spare tire on another vehicle

unless it is the same make and

model.
