COMPACT SPARE TIRE
The compact spare tire is designed
for temporary emergency use only.
The compact spare tire is identified
by the distinctive wording
“TEMPORARY USE ONLY” molded
into the side wall of the tire.
The compact spare tire saves space
in your luggage compartment, and its
lighter weight helps to improve fuel
economy and permits easier installa-
tion in case of a flat tire. The compact spare tire can be used
many times, if necessary. It has tread
life of up to 4800 km (3000 miles) de-
pending on road conditions and your
driving habits. When tread wear indi-
cators appear on the tire, replace the
tire.
See also the tire information on page
471 in Section 7−
2 for details on the
tread wear indicators and other ser-
vice information.CAUTION
 The compact spare tire was de-
signed especially for your To-
yota. Do not use it on any other
vehicle.
 Do not use more than one com-
pact spare tire at the same
time.
 The pressure for the compact
spare tire must be 420 kPa (4.2
kgf/cm
2 or bar, 60 psi).
 Do not exceed 80 km/h (50
mph) when driving with the
compact spare tire.
