When driving with the compact spare
tyre mounted to your vehicle:
• Check the tyre pressure after installing
the compact spare tyre. The compact
spare tyre should be inflated to 420
kPa (60 psi).
• Do not take this vehicle through
an automatic car wash whilst the
compact spare tyre is installed.
• Do not use the compact spare tyre on
any other vehicle because this tyre
has been designed especially for your
vehicle.
• The compact spare tyre’s tread life is
shorter than a regular tyre. Inspect
your compact spare tyre regularly
and replace worn compact spare
tyres with the same size and design,
mounted on the same wheel.
• Do not use more than one compact
spare tyre at a time.
• Do not tow a trailer whilst the
compact spare tyre is installed.
Information
When the original tyre and wheel are
repaired and reinstalled on the vehicle, the
wheel bolt torque must be set correctly.
The correct wheel bolt tightening torque is
14~16 kgf.m (101~116 lbf.ft).
NOTICE
To prevent damaging the compact
spare tyre and your vehicle:
• Drive slowly enough for the road
conditions to avoid all hazards, such
as a potholes or debris.
• Avoid driving over obstacles. The
compact spare tyre diameter is
smaller than the diameter of a
conventional tyre and reduces the
ground clearance approximately
1 inch.
• Do not use tyre chains on the
compact spare tyre. Because of the
smaller size, a tyre chain will not fit
properly.
• Do not use the compact spare tyre
on any other wheels, nor should
standard tyres, snow tyres, wheel
covers or trim rings be used with the
compact spare wheel.
