Please heed the following:
Do not drive faster than 50mph (80km/h)!
Avoid full-throttle acceleration, hard braking, and fast cornering!
Do not use snow chains on the compact spare wheel ⇒Snow chains .
After installing the compact spare wheel, check the tire pressure as soon as possible ⇒Tire infla‐
tion pressure .
Check the tire inflation pressure of the compact spare whenever you check the tire pressure of the
road wheels, at least once a month. Inflate a compact spare wheel to the cold tire pressure specified
for the compact spare on the tire pressure label or on a separate label for the compact spare, if there
is one.
WARNING
Improper use of a compact spare wheel can cause loss of vehicle control, a crash or other acci‐
dent, and serious personal injury.
Never use a compact spare wheel if it is damaged or worn down to the wear indicators.
In some vehicles, the compact spare wheel is smaller than the original tire. A smaller compact
spare wheel is identified with a sticker and the words 50mph or 80km/h. This is the maximum
permissible speed when driving with this tire.
Never drive faster than 50mph (80km/h) with a compact spare wheel. Avoid full-throttle accel‐
eration, heavy braking, and fast cornering!
Never drive more than 125miles (200km) if a compact spare wheel is installed.
Replace the compact spare with a normal wheel and tire as soon as possible. Compact spare
wheels are designed for brief use only.
Regularly check the U.S. DOT Tire Identification Number (TIN) to determine the age of the
compact spare wheel ⇒Tire labeling . Tires age even if they are not being used and can fail
suddenly, especially at higher speeds.
Tires that are more than 6years old can only be used in an emergency and then with special
care and at lower speeds.
The compact spare wheel must always be secured with the wheel bolts provided by the
factory.
Never drive using more than one compact spare wheel.
