■ The compact spare tire
● The compact spare tire is identified by
the label “TEMPORARY USE ONLY”
on the tire sidewall.
Use the compact spare tire temporar-
ily, and only in an emergency.
● Make sure to check the tire inflation
pressure of the compact spare tire.
(P.591)
■ When using the compact spare tire
As the compact spare tire is not
equipped with a tire pressure warning
valve and transmitter, low inflation pres-
sure of the spare tire will not be indi-
cated 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
attached
The vehicle height may become lower
when driving with the compact spare tire
compared to when driving with standard
tires.
