spare tire. Go to a dealer as soon as possible to have the full-size tire repaired or 
replaced.

Changing a Flat Tire

Periodically check the tire pressure of the compact

When driving with the compact spare tire, keep the 
vehicle speed under 50 mph (80 km/h). Replace with 
a full-size tire as soon as possible.

The compact 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 
spare tire or wheel with your vehicle.

Do not mount tire chains on a compact spare tire. 
If a chain-mounted front tire goes flat, remove one of 
the full-size rear tires and replace it with the compact 
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.

NOTICE

Do not use the jack if it doesn’t work properly. Call 
your dealer or a professional towing service.
