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 designed for temporary use only.

• Drive carefully when you use the compact spare tire. Replace it with a proper conventional tire and rim as soon as possible.

• Do not operate your vehicle with more than one compact spare tire in use at the same time.

The compact spare tire should be inflated to 60 psi (420 kPa).

When using a compact spare tire, observe the following precautions:

• Under no circumstances should you exceed 50 mph (80 km/h). A higher speed could damage the tire.

• Drive slowly enough to avoid all hazards (according to road conditions). Any road hazard, such as a pothole or debris, could seriously damage the compact spare tire.

• Continuous use could result in tire failure, loss of vehicle control, and personal injury.

• Do not exceed your vehicle’s maximum load rating or the load carrying capacity shown on the sidewall of the compact spare tire.

• Avoid driving over obstacles. The compact spare tire diameter is smaller than the diameter of a conventional tire and reduces the ground clearance approximately 1 in (25 mm), which could result in damage to the vehicle.

• Do not go through an automatic car wash while using the compact spare tire.

• Do not use the compact spare tire on any other vehicle. This tire has been designed specifically for your vehicle.

• 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.

• Do not use the compact spare tire with any other wheels. Similarly, do not use standard tires, snow tires, wheel covers, or trim rings with the compact spare wheel. This may result in damage to these items or other vehicle components.

• Do not use more than one compact spare tire at a time.

• Do not tow a trailer while the compact spare tire is installed.
