Compact spare tire (on some models)
The compact spare tire is designed for
temporary emergency use only.
The compact spare tire is identified by the
distinctive wording “TEMPORARY USE
ONLY” molded into the side wall of the
tire.
The compact spare tire saves space in
your luggage compartment, and its lighter
weight helps to improve fuel economy and
permits easier installation in case of a flat
tire.
The compact spare tire can be used many
times, if necessary. It has tread life of up
to 4800 km (3000 miles) depending on
road conditions and your driving habits.
When tread wear indicators appear on the
tire, replace the tire.
See also the tire section on page 270 in
Section 7−2 for details on the tread wear
indicators and other service information.
CAUTION
D The compact spare tire was de-
signed especially for your Toyota.
Do not use it on any other vehicle.
D Do not use more than one compact
spare tire at the same time.
D The pressure for the compact spare
tire must be 420 kPa (4.2 kgf/cm
2
or bar, 60 psi).
D Do not exceed 80 km/h (50 mph)
when driving with the compact
spare tire.
D The standard tire should be re-
paired and reinstalled as soon as
possible.
D Avoid sudden acceleration, sudden
deceleration and sharp turns with
the compact spare tire.
NOTICE
Your ground clearance is reduced
when the compact spare tire is
installed so avoid driving over ob-
stacles and drive slowly on rough,
unpaved roads and speed bumps.
Also, do not attempt to go through an
automatic car wash as the vehicle
may get caught, resulting in damage.
