Your vehicle is equipped with a compact spare tyre. This compact spare tyre takes up less space than a regular-size tyre. This tyre is smaller than a conventional tyre and is designed for temporary use only.

• The compact spare tyre is provided only to get you to the nearest tyre store or repair facility. Do not driver on the compact spare longer than necessary. When driving on a compact spare, drive more slowly and carefully than usual. It may not corner the same as a full size tyre, and it may not be as durable. Failure to follow these instructions can lead to an accident or to being stranded.

• The operation of this vehicle is not recommended with more than one compact spare tyre in use at the same time.

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

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

• Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h); a higher speed could damage the tyre.

• 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.

• Continuous road use of this tyre could result in tyre failure, loss of vehicle control, and possible personal injury.

• Do not exceed the vehicle's maximum load rating or the load-carrying capacity shown on the sidewall of the compact spare tyre.

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

• Do not take this vehicle through an automatic car wash whilst the compact spare tyre is installed.

• Do not use tyre chains on the compact spare tyre. Because of the smaller size, a tyre chain will not fit properly. This could damage the vehicle and result in loss of the chain.

• Do not use the compact spare tyre on any other vehicle because this tyre has been designed especially for your vehicle.

• The compact spare tyre's tread life is shorter than a regular tyre. Inspect your compact spare tyre regularly and replace worn compact spare tyres with the same size and design, mounted on the same wheel.

• The compact spare tyre should not be used on any other wheels, nor should standard tyres, snow tyres, wheel covers or trim rings be used with the compact spare wheel. Damage to these items or other vehicle components may occur.

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

• Do not tow a trailer when the compact spare tyre is installed.
