Compact spare tire
The compact spare tire is designed
for temporary emergency use only.
The compact spare tire is identified
by the distinctive wording
“TEMPORARY USE ONLY” molded
into the sidewall 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 information in Sec-
tion 7- 2 for details on the tread wear
indicators and other service informa-
tion.

signed especially for your To-
yota. Do not use it on any other

pact spare tire at the same
