Check the inflation pressure of the
compact spare tire every time you
check the other tires. It should be
inflated to:

Follow these precautions:

Never exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).

This tire gives a harsher ride and
less traction on some road sur-
faces. Use greater caution while
driving.

Do not mount snow chains on the
compact spare tire.

Do not use the compact spare tire
if you are towing a trailer.

Replace the tire when you can see
the tread wear indicator bars. The
replacement should be the same size
and design tire, mounted on the
same wheel. The spare tire is not
designed to be mounted on a regular
wheel, and the spare wheel is not
designed for mounting a regular tire.

Use the compact spare tire as a
temporary replacement only. Get
your regular tire repaired or replaced,
and put it back on your vehicle as
soon as you can.

Do not use your compact spare
tire on another vehicle unless it is
the same make and model.

On models with manual
transmission, do not drive for a
long period with the compact
spare tire mounted on a front
wheel; it will damage the limited
slip differential.

Turn off the VSA system (see
page

). Driving with the

compact spare tire may activate
the VSA system.
