What to do in an emergency WARNING - Wheel studs If the studs are damaged, they may lose their ability to retain the wheel. This could lead to the loss of the wheel and a collision resulting in serious injuries. To prevent the jack, jack handle, wheel lug nut wrench and spare tire from rattling while the vehicle is in motion, store them properly. Important - use of compact spare tire (if equipped) WARNING The compact spare tire is for emergency use only. Do not operate your vehicle on this compact spare at speeds over 50 mph (80 km/h). The original tire should be repaired or replaced as soon as is possible to avoid failure of the spare possibly leading to personal injury or death. The compact spare should be inflated to 60 psi (420 kPa). If your vehicle is equipped with a compact spare tire, it will take up less space than a regular-size tire. This tire is smaller than a conventional tire and is designed for temporary use only. CAUTION • You should drive carefully when the compact spare is in use. The compact spare should be replaced by the proper conventional tire and rim at the first opportunity. • The operation of this vehicle is not recommended with more than one compact spare tire in use at the same time. WARNING - Inadequate spare tire pressure Check the inflation pressures as soon as possible after installing the spare tire. Adjust it to the specified pressure, if necessary. Refer to "Tires and wheels" section 8. ✽ NOTICE Check the inflation pressure after installing the spare tire. Adjust it to the specified pressure, as necessary. 6 18
