NOTICE:
When the compact spare is installed, don’t take
your vehicle through an automatic car wash with
guide rails. The compact spare can get caught on
the rails. That can damage the tire and wheel,
and maybe other parts
of
your vehicle.
Don‘t
use
your compact spare on other vehicles
And
don’t
mix
your
compact spare tire or wheel
with
other wheels or tires. They
won‘t
fit.
Keep
your spare
tire and
its
wheel together.
NOTICE:
Tire chains won’t tit your compact spare. Using
them can damage your vehicle and can damage
the chains too. Don’t use tire chains on your
compact spare.
If
You’re
Stuck:
In
Sand,
Mud,
Ice
or
Snow
What
you
don‘t want to
do
when your vehicle
is
stuck
is
to
spin your wheels
too
fast.
The method known
as
“rocking“ can help you get
out
when you’re
stuck,
but
you
must use
caution.
A
CAUTION:
If
you let your tires spin at high speed, they can
explode, and you or others could be injured. And,
the transmission or other parts
of
the vehicle can
overheat. That could cause an engine
compartment fire
or
other damage. When you’re
stuck, spin the wheels as little as possible. Don’t
spin the wheels above
35
mph
(55
kmh) as shown
on the speedometer.
