NOTICE:
When the compact spare is installed, don’t take
your vehicle through an automatic car wash with
guide rails. The compact spare can get caught on
the rails.
That
can damage the tire and wheel,
and maybe other parts
of
your vehicle.
Don’t use your compact spare on other vehicles.
And don’t mix your compact spare tire
or
wheel with
other wheels
or
tires. They won’t fit. Keep your spare
tire
and
its
wheel together.
NOTICE:
Tire chains won’t fit your compact spare. Using
them can damage your vehicle and can damage
the chains
too.
Don’t use tire chains on your
compact spare.
If
You’re
Stuck:
In
Sand,
Mud,
Ice
OF
Snow
What you don’t want to do when your vehicle
is
stuck is
to spin your wheels too fast. The method known as
“rocking” can help you get out when you’re stuck,
but
you must
use caution.
If
you let your tires spin at high speed, they can
explode, and
you
or
others could be injured. And,
the transaxle or other parts of the vehicle can
overheat. That could cause an engine compartment
fire or other damage. When you’re stuck, spin the
wheels
as
little
as
possible. Don’t spin the wheels
above
35
mph
(55
kdh)
as
shown on the
speedometer.
