Follow compact/temporary spare* precautions:

Periodically check the tire pressure of the compact spare. It should be set to the specified pressure.

Specified Pressure: 420 kPa (4.2 kgf/cm2, 60 psi)

Check air pressure of temporary spare tire every time you check the other full-size tires.

It should be inflated to the recommended air pressure on the label attached to the driver’s doorjamb.

When driving with the compact/temporary spare tyre, keep the vehicle speed under 80 km/h (120 km/h on Indian models).

Replace with a full-size tire as soon as possible.

The compact/temporary spare tire and wheel in your vehicle are specifically for this model. Do not use them with another vehicle. Do not use another type of compact/temporary spare tire or wheel with your vehicle.

Do not mount tire chains on a compact/temporary Spare tire.

If a chain-mounted front tire goes flat, remove one of the full-size rear tires and replace it with the Compact/temporary spare tire.

Remove the flat front tire and replace it with the full-size tire that was removed from the rear. Mount the tire chains on the front tire.
