■The compact spare tire
●The compact spare tire is identified by the label “TEMPORARY USE ONLY” on
the tire sidewall.
Use the compact spare tire temporarily, and only in an emergency.
●Make sure to check the tire inflation pressure of the compact spare tire.
(→ P. 6 4 5 )
■When using the compact spare tire (vehicles with the tire pressure warning sys-
tem)
As the compact spare tire is not equipped with a tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter, low inflation pressure of the spare tire will not be indicated by the tire
pressure warning system. Also, if you replace the compact spare tire after the tire
pressure warning light comes on, the light remains on.
■When the compact spare tire is equipped
The vehicle becomes lower when driving with the compact spare tire compared to
when driving with standard tires.
■If you have a flat rear tire on a road covered with snow or ice (vehicles with front
and rear tires of the same size and compact spare tire only)
Install the compact spare tire on one of the front wheels of the vehicle. Perform the
following steps and fit tire chains to the rear tires:
Replace a front tire with the compact spare tire.
Replace the flat rear tire with the tire removed from the front of the vehicle.
Fit tire chains to the rear tires.

■If the tire is inflated to more than the recommended levelDisconnect the hose from the valve.
Disconnect the hose from the valve, remove the air release cap from the hose and
then reconnect the hose.
Turn the compressor switch on and wait for several seconds, and then turn it off.
Check that the air pressure indicator shows the recommended level. ( →P. 6 4 5 )
If the air pressure is lower than the recommended level, turn the compressor
switch on again and repeat the inflation procedure until the recommended pres-
sure is reached.
■The valve of a tire that has been repaired
●After a tire is repaired with the emergency tire puncture repair kit, the valve should
be replaced.
●Vehicles with the tire pressure warning system: After a tire is repaired with the
emergency tire puncture repair kit, even if the tire inflation pressure is at the recom-
mended level, the tire pressure warning light may come on/flash.
■Note for checking the emergency tire puncture repair kit
Check the sealant expiry date occasionally.
The expiry date is shown on the bottle.
Do not use sealant whose expiry date has already passed. Otherwise, repairs con-
ducted using the emergency tire puncture repair kit may not be performed properly. Install the air release cap to the end of the
hose and push the protrusion on the air
release cap into the tire valve to let some air
out.
CAUTION
■Caution while driving
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause an accident.
●The emergency tire puncture repair kit is made exclusively for your vehicle. Do
not use it on other vehicles.
●Do not use the emergency tire puncture repair kit for tires that are a different size
than the specified ones or for any other purpose. Doing so may cause the tires to
not be repaired properly.
