Compact Spare Tire Use the compact spare tire as a temporary replacement only. Get your regular tire repaired or replaced, and put it back on your vehicle as soon as you can. Check the inflation pressure of the compact spare tire every time you check the other tires. It should be inflated to: 60 psi (420 kPa , 4.2 kgf/cm ) Follow these precautions: Never exceed 50 mph (80 km/h). This tire gives a harsher ride and less traction on some road surfaces. Use greater caution while driving. Do not mount snow chains on the compact spare tire. Do not use the compact spare tire if you are towing a trailer. Do not use your compact spare tire on another vehicle unless it is the same make and model. U.S. LX-V6 and EX-V6 Canadian SE-V6 and EX-V6 TREAD WEAR INDICATOR BAR INDICATOR LOCATION MARK Turn off the VSA system (see pages 182 and 183 ). Driving with the compact spare tire may activate the VSA. On models with manual transmission, do not drive for a long period with the compact spare tire mounted on a front wheel; it will damage the limited slip differential. Replace the tire when you can see the tread wear indicator bars. The replacement should be the same size and design tire, mounted on the same wheel. The spare tire is not designed to be mounted on a regular wheel, and the spare wheel is not designed for mounting a regular tire. 238
