until you reach the nearest service station, 
whichever is sooner.
Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h). If you 
have not reached a service station, stop and

1 Changing a Flat Tire
Follow compact spare precautions:
Periodically check the tire pressure of the compact 
spare. It should be set to the specified pressure. 
Specified Pressure: 60 psi (420 kPa, 4.2 kgf/cm
2)
When driving with the compact spare tire, keep the 
vehicle speed under 50 mph (80 km/h). Replace with 
a full-size tire as soon as possible.
The compact spare tire and wheel in your vehicle are 
specifically for this model. Do not use them with 
another vehicle. Do not us e another type of compact 
spare tire or wheel with your vehicle.
Do not mount tire chains on a compact spare tire. 
If a chain-mounted front tire  goes flat, remove one of 
the full-size rear tires and replace it with the compact 
spare tire. Remove the flat front tire and replace it 
with the full-size tire that was removed from the rear. 
Mount the tire chains on the front tire.
