CAUTION!
•
Avoid rapid starting and braking with a compact
spare tire.
•
Avoid driving through automatic vehicle washes
and over obstacles that could possibly damage the
vehicle’s under-carriage. Because the tire is
smaller than the original tire, vehicle ground
clearance is slightly reduced.
•
As the compact spare tire is specifically designed
for your vehicle, it should not be used on any
other vehicle.
•
The compact spare tire should not be used on any
other wheels, nor should standard tires, snow tires,
wheel covers or trim rings be used with the compact
spare wheel. If such use is attempted, damage to
these items or other vehicle components may occur.
•
Do not use snow chains with your compact spare
tire. Because of the smaller tire size, a snow chain
will not fit properly. This could cause damage to
the vehicle and could result in loss of the chains.
•
The compact spare tire pressure should be
checked once a month while the tire is stowed.
WHEEL COVERS (IF SO EQUIPPED)
To remove
Wrap the tip of the bar with a cloth, insert it deeply into
the notch provided in the wheel cover, and pry the cover
away from the wheel.
Using the same procedure on the other side, work the
wheel cover away from the wheel to remove it com-
pletely.
