Use the compact spare tire tempo-
rarily, and only in an emergency.
● Make sure to check the tire infla-
tion pressure of the compact
spare tire. (P.675)
■ When using the compact spare
tire
As the compact spare tire is not
equipped with a tire pressure warn-
ing valve and transmitter (if
equipped), low inflation pressure of
the spare tire will not be indicated by
the tire pressure warning system.
Also, if you replace the compact
spare tire after the tire pressure
warning light comes on, the light
remains on.
■ When the compact spare tire is
equipped
The vehicle height may becomes
lower when driving with the compact
spare tire compared to when driving
with standard tires.
■ If you have a flat front tire on a
road covered with snow or ice
Install the compact spare tire on one
of the rear wheels of the vehicle.
Perform the following steps and fit
tire chains to the front tires:
1 Replace a rear tire with the com-
pact spare tire.
2 Replace the flat front tire with the
tire removed from the rear of the
vehicle.
3 Fit tire chains to the front tires.
■ When stowing the jack
Before storing the jack, adjust the
height of the jack to match the
shape of the jack holder.
The storage direction of the jack dif-
fers depending on the type, so make
sure to store the jack in the correct
direction.
