designed for use with your vehicle. Do not use your compact spare tire
on another vehicle.
●Do not use more than one compact spare tire simultaneously.
●Replace the compact spare tire with a standard tire as soon as possi-
ble.
●Avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt steering, sudden braking and shift-
ing operations that cause sudden engine braking.
■When storing the compact spare tire
Be careful not to catch fingers or other body parts between the compact
spare tire and the body of the vehicle.
■After using the tools and jack
Before driving, make sure all the tools and jack are securely in place in
their storage location to reduce the po ssibility of personal injury during a
collision or sudden braking.

The vehicle speed may not be correctly detected, and the following sys-
tems may not operate correctly:
●ABS
●Brake assist
●VSC
●TRAC

ure to observe this precaution may lead to an accident causing death or
serious injury.
■When stowing the flat tire
●Make sure the rear seats are in their original position.
