COMPACT SPARE TIRE
(if equipped)
1.Wear indicator
2.Indicator location mark
Your vehicle comes equipped with the
compact spare tire. The compact spare is
designed to save space in your storage area,
and its lighter weight makes it easier to in-
stall if a flat tire occurs. It is only intended
for temporary emergency use, until the
conventional tire can be repaired or re-
placed. The inflation pressure of the com-
pact spare tire should be checked at least
monthly. Use a quality pocket- type infla-
tion pressure gauge and set at 4.2 bar (60
psi). At the same time, check that the tire
is stored securely. If it is not, tighten it.
Note that two or more compact spare
tires should not be used on one vehicle si-
multaneously.

The compact spare tire and
wheel are intended for tem-
porary emergency use only. Continu-
ous use of this spare can result in tire
failure and loss of control. Always ob-
serve these precautions when using
this spare:
– Your vehicle will handle differently
with this temporary spare.
– Do not exceed 80 km/h (50 mph)
speed.
– Replace this spare with a standard
tire and wheel as soon as possible.
– Use of this spare will reduce ground
clearance.
o Recommended air pressure for this
spare is 4.2 bar (60 psi).
– Do not use tire chains on the com-
pact spare. If you must use tire
chains, rearrange the wheels so stan-
dard tires and wheels are fitted to the
front axle.
WARNING
– The compact spare tire has
a much shorter tread life
than the conventional tires on your
vehicle. Replace the tire as soon as
the tread wear indicator appears.
– When replacing the compact spare
tire, use a replacement tire with the
exact same size and construction.
