When usinþ a compact spare tire, ob‐

exceed 80 km/h (50 mph); a hiþher
speed could damaþe the tire.
• Ensure that you drive slowly enouþh
to avoid all hazards. Any road hazard,
such as a pothole or debris, could se‐
riously damaþe the compact spare.
• Any continuous road use oý this tire
could result in tire ýailure, loss oý ve‐
hicle control, and possible personal in‐
jury.
• Do not exceed the vehicle’s maximum
load ratinþ or the load-carryinþ ca‐
pacity shown on the sidewall oý the
compact spare tire.
• Avoid drivinþ over obstacles. The
compact spare tire diameter is small‐
er than the diameter oý a convention‐
al tire and reduces the þround clear‐
ance approximately 2.5 cm (1 inch),
which could result in damaþe to the
vehicle.
• Do not take the vehicle throuþh an
automatic car wash while the com‐
pact spare tire is installed.
• Do not use tire chains on the tempo‐
