404 Vehicle Care
Compact Spare Tire
{Warning
Driving with more than one
compact spare tire at a time
could result in loss of
braking and handling. This
could lead to a crash and
you or others could be
injured. Use only one
compact spare tire at a time.
If this vehicle has a compact
spare tire, it was fully inflated
when new; however, it can
lose air over time. Check the
inflation pressure regularly.
It should be 420 kPa (60 psi).
Stop as soon as possible and
check that the spare tire is
correctly inflated after being
installed on the vehicle. The
compact spare tire is designed
for temporary use only. The
vehicle will perform differently
with the spare tire installed
and it is recommended that
the vehicle speed be limited to
80 km/h (50 mph). To conserve the tread of the spare tire,
have the standard tire
repaired or replaced as soon
as convenient and return the
spare tire to the storage area.
When using a compact spare
tire, the AWD (if equipped),
ABS, and Traction Control
systems may engage until the
spare tire is recognized by the
vehicle, especially on slippery
roads. Adjust driving to reduce
possible wheel slip.
Caution
When the compact spare is
installed, do not take the
vehicle through an
automatic car wash with
guide rails. The compact
spare can get caught on the
rails which can damage the
tire, wheel, and other parts
of the vehicle.
Do not use the compact spare
on other vehicles. Do not mix the compact spare
tire or wheel with other
wheels or tires. They will not
fit. Keep the spare tire and its
wheel together.
Caution
Tire chains will not fit the
compact spare. Using them
can damage the vehicle and
the chains. Do not use tire
chains on the compact
spare.

Appearance Care
Exterior Care
Locks
Locks are lubricated at the
factory. Use a de-icing agent
only when absolutely
necessary, and have the locks
greased after using. See
Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants0429.
Washing the Vehicle
To preserve the vehicle's
finish, wash it often and out of
direct sunlight.
Caution
Do not use
petroleum-based, acidic,
or abrasive cleaning agents
as they can damage the
vehicle's paint, metal,
or plastic parts. If damage
occurs, it would not be
covered by the vehicle
warranty. Approved cleaning
(Continued)
Caution (Continued)
products can be obtained
from your dealer. Follow all
manufacturer directions
regarding correct product
usage, necessary safety
precautions, and
appropriate disposal of any
vehicle care product.
Caution
Avoid using high-pressure
washes closer than 30 cm
(12 in) to the surface of the
vehicle. Use of power
washers exceeding
8 274 kPa (1,200 psi) can
result in damage or removal
of paint and decals.
If using an automatic car wash,
follow the car wash
instructions. The windshield
wiper and rear window wiper,
if equipped, must be off. Remove any accessories that
may be damaged or interfere
with the car wash equipment.
Rinse the vehicle well, before
washing and after, to remove
all cleaning agents completely.
If they are allowed to dry on
the surface, they could stain.
Dry the finish with a soft, clean
chamois or an all-cotton towel
to avoid surface scratches
and water spotting.
Cleaning Underhood
Components
Caution
Do not power wash any
component under the hood
that has this
esymbol.
This could cause damage
that would not be covered
by the vehicle warranty.
Solvents or aggressive
cleaners may harm underhood
components. The usages of
these chemicals should be
avoided.
