n Comp
act spare tire
The compact spare tire saves space in your luggage compartment,
and its lighter weight helps to enhance fuel economy and permits
easier installation in case of a flat tire.
The compact spare tire is
d
esigned for temporary emer-
gency use only.
The compact spare tire is identi-
fied by the distinctive wording
“TE
MPORARY USE ONLY”
molded into the sidewall of the
tire.
n When using the compact spare tire
As the compact spare tire is not equipped with the tire pressure warning
valve and trans
mitter, low inflation pressure of the compact spare tire will
not be warned. Also, if you replace the compact spare tire after the tire
pressure warning light comes on, the light remains on.
n Check the tire inflation pressure of the compact spare tire.
