Compact spare tire
The compact spare tire is designed
for temporary emergency use only.
The compact spare tire is identified
by the distinctive wording “TEM-
PORARY USE ONLY” molded into the
side wall of the tire.
To keep the compact spare tire no-
ticeable, do not hide the wheel by a
wheel cover or such.
The compact spare tire saves space
in your luggage compartment, and its
lighter weight helps to improve fuel
economy and permits easier installa-
tion in case of a flat tire.
The compact spare tire can be used
many times, if necessary. It has tread
life of up to 4800 km (3000 miles) de-
pending on road conditions and your
driving habits. When tread wear indi-
cators appear on the tire, replace the
tire.
See also the tire section in Section
7−2 for details on the tread wear indi-
cators and other service information.
