Compact spare tire (on some models)

On a vehicle equipped with a compact spare tire, the tire is designed to save luggage compartment space, and its low weight makes it easy to replace when a tire is punctured. It is for temporary emergency use only, until the conventional tire is repaired or replaced.

The compact spare tire pressure should be checked at least once a month. Using a pocket tire pressure gauge, set the pressure to 420 kPa. At the same time, check that the wheel is securely attached.

If not, tighten the bolt.

• Do not exceed 80 km/h
• Do not use snow chains on this tire
• Do not drive the vehicle through an automatic car wash. Reduced ground clearance may cause damage.
• The compact spare tire has a much shorter tread life than conventional tires. Replace the tire as soon as the tread wear indicator appears.
• The compact spare tire and its wheel are designed to work together. Do not fit a compact spare tire to a wheel of another type, and do not fit any other tire to a compact spare wheel.

When replacing the compact spare tire, use a replacement of the same size and construction.
