Owner's Manual

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 fit your compact spare. Using
them can damage your car 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.
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.
