D
riving with more than one compact spare
ti
re at atime could result in loss of braking
and handling. This could lead to a crash and
you or others could be injured. Use only one

s fully inflated when new; however, it can
lose air over time. Check the inflation pressure
regularly. It should be 420 kPa (60 psi).

installed on the vehicle. The compact spare
tire is designed for temporary use only. The

the standard tire repaired or replaced as soon
as convenient and return the spare tire to the
storage area.

eq
uipped), ABS, and Traction Control systems
may engage until the spare tire is recognized by
