tire
•
Do not use tire chains on this tire.
Because of the smaller size, a tire
chain will not fit properly. This could
damage the vehicle and result in loss
of the chain.
your vehicle is equipped with a compact
spare tire. This compact spare tire takes
up less space than a regular-size tire.
This tire is smaller than a conventional
tire and is designed for temporary use
only.
When using a compact spare tire,
observe the following precautions:
•
•
This tire should not be installed on the
front axle if the vehicle must be driven
in snow or on ice.
Do not use the compact spare tire on
any other vehicle because this tire has
been designed especially for your vehi-
cle.
•
Under no circumstances should you
exceed 80 km/h (50 mph); a higher
speed could damage the tire.
CAUTION
•
Ensure that you drive slowly enough
for the road conditions to avoid all haz-
ards. Any road hazard, such as a pot-
hole or debris, could seriously damage
the compact spare.
•
•
You should drive carefully when
the compact spare is in use. The
compact spare should
be
replaced by the proper conven-
tional tire and rim at the first
opportunity.
•
The compact spare tire’s tread life is
shorter than a regular tire. Inspect your
compact spare tire regularly and
replace worn compact spare tires with
the same size and design, mounted on
the same wheel.
•
•
•
Any continuous road use of this tire
could result in tire failure, loss of vehi-
cle control, and possible personal
injury.
Do not exceed the vehicle’s maximum
load rating or the load-carrying capaci-
ty shown on the sidewall of the com-
pact spare tire.
Avoid driving over obstacles. The com-
pact spare tire diameter is smaller than
the diameter of a conventional tire and
reduces the ground clearance approxi-
mately 25 mm (1 inch), which could
result in damage to the vehicle.
The operation of this vehicle is
not recommended with more than
one compact spare tire in use at
the same time.
CAUTION
Thisspare tire should be used only
for VERY short distances. Compact
spares should NEVER be used for
long drives or extended distances.
The compact spare should be inflated to
60 psi (420 kPa).
