Important - use of compact spare tyre (if equipped)
The compact spare tyre is smaller than a conventional tyre and is designed for temporary use only.
Precautions
-
Do not exceed 80 km/h (50 mph).
-
Drive slowly enough to avoid all hazards.
-
Continuous road use could result in tyre failure, loss of vehicle control, and possible personal injury.
-
Do not exceed the vehicle's maximum load rating or the load carrying capacity.
-
Avoid driving over obstacles. The compact spare tyre diameter is smaller than the diameter of a conventional tyre and reduces the ground clearance approximately 2.5 cm (1 inch), which could result in damage to the vehicle.
-
Do not take the vehicle through an automatic car wash.
-
Do not use tyre chains on the temporary compact tyre.
-
Do not install on the front axle if the vehicle must be driven in snow or on ice.
-
Do not use on any other vehicle.
-
Inspect your compact spare tyre regularly and replace with the same size and design.
-
The compact spare tyre should not be used on any other wheels, nor should standard tyres, snow tyres, wheel covers or trim rings be used with the compact spare wheel.
-
Do not use more than one compact spare tyre at a time.
-
Do not tow a trailer whilst the compact spare tyre is installed.
