What to do in an emergency

To prevent the jack, jack handle,
wheel lug nut wrench and spare tire
from rattling while the vehicle is in
motion, store them properly.

Important - use of compact spare tire
(if equipped)

If your vehicle is equipped with a
compact spare tire, it will take up less
space than a regular-size tire. This
tire is smaller than a conventional tire
and is designed for temporary use
only.

The compact spare should be inflat-
ed to 60 psi (420 kPa).

✽

✽ NOTICE
Check the inflation pressure after
installing the spare tire. Adjust it to
the specified pressure, as necessary.

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.

• The operation of this vehicle

is not recommended with
more than one compact spare
tire in use at the same time.

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.

WARNING

- Wheel studs

If the studs are damaged, they
may lose their ability to retain
the wheel. This could lead to the
loss of the wheel and a collision
resulting in serious injuries.

WARNING -

Inadequate

spare tire pressure

Check the inflation pressures as
soon as possible after installing
the spare tire. Adjust it to the
specified pressure, if necessary.
