284 SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

Do not install a wheel cover or attempt to mount a conven-

tional tire on the compact spare wheel, since the wheel is

designed specifically for the compact spare tire. Do not

install more than one compact spare tire and wheel on the

vehicle at any given time.

Collapsible Spare Tire — If Equipped

The collapsible spare is for temporary emergency use only.

You can identify if your vehicle is equipped with a collaps-

ible spare by looking at the spare tire description on the Tire

and Loading Information Placard located on the driver’s side

door opening or on the sidewall of the tire.

Collapsible spare tire description example: 165/80-17 101P.

Since this tire has limited tread life, the original equipment

tire should be repaired (or replaced) and reinstalled on your

vehicle at the first opportunity.

Inflate collapsible tire only after the wheel is properly

installed to the vehicle. Inflate the collapsible tire using the

electric air pump before lowering the vehicle.

Do not install a wheel cover or attempt to mount a conven-

tional tire on the collapsible spare wheel, since the wheel is

designed specifically for the collapsible spare tire.

WARNING!

Compact and collapsible spares are for temporary

emergency use only. With these spares, do not drive

more than 50 mph (80 km/h). Temporary use spares have

limited tread life. When the tread is worn to the tread

wear indicators, the temporary use spare tire needs to be

replaced. Be sure to follow the warnings, which apply to

your spare. Failure to do so could result in spare tire

failure and loss of vehicle control.
