Your vehicle comes equipped with a com-
pact spare tyre. It is designed to save
space in your storage area, and its lighter
weight facilitates installing the spare tyre
when getting a flat tyre. It is only intended
for temporary emergency use, until the
conventional tyre can be repaired or
replaced. The inflation pressure of the
compact spare tyre should be checked at
least once a month. Use a quality pocket-
type inflation pressure gauge and set at
420 kPa (60 psi). At the same time, check
that the tyre is stored securely. If it is not,
tighten it.
Note that two or more compact spare tyres
should not be used on one vehicle simulta-
neously.
