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.
I
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
or
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
km/h)
as shown
on
the speedometer.
