■ The compact spare tire (if equipped)
● The compact spare tire is identified by the label “TEMPORARY USE
ONLY” on the tire sidewall.
Use the compact spare tire temporarily, and only in an emergency.
● Make sure to check the tire inflation pressure of the compact spare tire.
(P. 734)
■ When using the compact spare tire (if equipped)
As the compact spare tire is not equipped with a tire pressure warning
valve and transmitter, low inflation pressure of the spare tire will not be
indicated by the tire pressure warning system. Also, if you replace the
compact spare tire after the tire pressure warning light comes on, the light
remains on.
■ When the compact spare tire is equipped (if equipped)
The vehicle height may become lower when driving with the compact
spare tire compared to when driving with standard tires.
■ If you have a flat front tire on a road covered with snow or ice (vehi-
cles with compact spare tire)
Install the compact spare tire on one of the rear wheels of the vehicle.
Perform the following steps and fit tire chains to the front tires:
Replace a rear tire with the compact spare tire.
Replace the flat front tire with the tire removed from the rear of the vehi-
cle.
Fit tire chains to the front tires.
■ Jack point
■ Storing the jack
The mark indicating the jack point is
stamped on the underside of the vehi-
cle.
Place the jack in the same direction as
the mark next to the storage space.
