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.
