What to do in an emergency
Important - use of compact spare  tire
Your vehicle is equipped with a com-
pact spare  tire. This  compact spare
tire takes up less space than a regu-
lar-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:
WARNING
The  compact  spare  tire  is  for
emergency   use  only.   Do  not
operate   your  vehicle   on  this
compact  spare at  speeds  over
50 mph  (80 km/h).  The  original
tire    should   be    repaired    or
replaced as soon as is possible
to  avoid   failure  of   the  spare
possibly   leading   to  personal
injury or death.
Under   no  circumstances   should
you  exceed 50  mph  (80 km/h);  a
higher  speed  could   damage  the
tire.
Ensure    that   you    drive   slowly
enough for  the  road conditions  to
avoid all hazards. Any road hazard,
such as a  pothole or debris,  could
seriously   damage   the   compact
spare.
CAUTION
You   should   drive   carefully
when the  compact spare is  in
use.
The
compact
spare
should   be  replaced    by  the
proper  conventional  tire  and
rim at the first opportunity.
•  Any continuous road use of this tire
could  result in  tire  failure, loss  of
vehicle  control, and  possible  per-
sonal injury.
•  Do not  exceed the vehicle’s  maxi-
mum load rating  or the load-carry-
ing capacity shown on the sidewall
of the compact spare tire.
The compact spare  should be inflat-
ed to 60 psi (420 kPa).
The  operation of  this  vehicle
is   not    recommended    with
more than one compact  spare
tire in use at the same time.
NOTICE
Check  the  inflation  pressure  after
installing the spare  tire. Adjust it to
the specified pressure, as necessary.
Avoid  driving  over obstacles.  The
compact   spare  tire   diameter   is
smaller than the diameter of a con-
ventional   tire   and   reduces   the
ground clearance  approximately 1
inch (25 mm), which could result in
damage to the vehicle.
