Compact spare tyres are designed
for emergency use only. Drive care-
fully on the compact spare tyre and
always follow the safety precautions.When driving with the compact spare
tyre mounted to your vehicle:
Check the tyre pressure after
installing the compact spare tyre.
The compact spare tyre should be
inflated to 420 kPa (60 psi).
Do not take this vehicle through an
automatic car wash whilst the com-
pact spare tyre is installed.
Do not use the compact spare tyre
on any other vehicle because this
tyre has been designed especially

The compact spare tyre’s tread life
is shorter than a regular tyre.
Inspect your compact spare tyre
regularly and replace worn compact
spare tyres with the same size and
design, mounted on the same
wheel.
Do not use more than one compact
spare tyre at a time.
Do not tow a trailer whilst the com-
pact spare tyre is installed.
Do not tow a trailer while the com-
pact spare tyre is installed.When the original tyre and wheel
are repaired and reinstalled on the
vehicle, the wheel nut torque must
be set correctly. The correct wheel
nut tightening torque is 11~13
kgf·m.
NOTICE

failure and loss of control pos-
sibly resulting in an accident:
Use the compact spare tyre
only in an emergency.
NEVER operate your vehicle
over 80 km/h.

maximum load rating or the
