Just before impact, drivers often brake
heavily. Such heavy braking lowers the
front portion of the vehicle causing it to
“ride” under a vehicle with a higher
ground clearance. Air bags may not
inflate in this "under-ride" situation
because deceleration forces that are
detected by sensors may be signifi-
cantly replaced by such “under-ride”
collisions. Air bags may not inflate in rollover acci-
dents because air bag deployment
would not provide protection to the
occupants.
However, side and/or curtain air bags may inflate when the vehicle is rolled
over by a side impact collision, if the
vehicle is equipped with side air bags
and curtain air bags. Air bags may not inflate if the vehicle
collides with objects such as utility
poles or trees, where the point of
impact is concentrated to one area and
the full force of the impact is not deliv-
ered to the sensors.

What to do in an emergency
The compact spare should be inflated to
420 kPa (60 psi).
✽✽NOTICE
Check the inflation pressure after
installing the spare tire. Adjust it to the
specified pressure, as necessary.
When using a compact spare tire,
observe the following precautions:
Under no circumstances should you exceed 80 km/h (50 mph); a higher
speed could damage the tire.
Ensure that you drive slowly enough for the road conditions to avoid all haz-
ards. Any road hazard, such as a pot-
hole or debris, could seriously damage
the compact spare.
Any continuous road use of this tire could result in tire failure, loss of vehi-
cle control, and possible personal
injury.
Do not exceed the vehicle’s maximum load rating or the load-carrying capaci-
ty shown on the sidewall of the com-
pact spare tire.
Avoid driving over obstacles. The com- pact spare tire diameter is smaller than
the diameter of a conventional tire and
reduces the ground clearance approxi-mately 25 mm (1 inch), which could
result in damage to the vehicle.
Do not take this vehicle through an automatic car wash while the compactspare tire is installed.
Do not use tire chains on the compact spare tire. Because of the smaller size,
a tire chain will not fit properly. This
could damage the vehicle and result inloss of the chain. The compact spare tire should not be
installed on the front axle if the vehicle
must be driven in snow or on ice.
Do not use the compact spare tire on any other vehicle because this tire has
been designed especially for your vehi-
cle.
The compact spare tire’s tread life is shorter than a regular tire. Inspect your
compact spare tire regularly and
replace worn compact spare tires with
the same size and design, mounted onthe same wheel.
The temporary spare tire should not be used on any other wheels, nor should
standard tires, snow tires, wheel cov-
ers or trim rings be used with the tem-
porary spare wheel. If such use isattempted, damage to these items or
other car components may occur.
Do not use more than one temporary spare tire at a time.
Do not tow a trailer while the temporary spare tire is installed.
WARNING
This spare tire should be used only
for VERY short distances. Compact
spares should NEVER be used for
long drives or extended distances.

Tyre replacement
If the tyre is worn evenly, a tread wear indicator will appear as a solid band
across the tread. This shows there is lessthan 1.6 mm (1/16 inch) of tread left on
the tyre. Replace the tyre when this hap-
pens.
Do not wait for the band to appear across
the entire tread before replacing the tyre.
WARNING - Replacing
tyres
Driving on worn-out tyres is very hazardous and will reduce brak-
ing effectiveness, steering accu-
racy, and traction.
Your vehicle is equipped with tyres designed to provide for safe
ride and handling capability. Do
not use a size and type of tyre
and wheel that is different from
the one that is originally installed
on your vehicle. It can affect the
safety and performance of your
vehicle, which could lead to han-
dling failure or rollover and seri-
ous injury. When replacing the
tyres, be sure to equip all fourtyres with the tyre and wheel of
the same size, type, tread, brand
and load-carrying capacity.

Tread wear indicator(Continued)
The use of any other tyre size ortype may seriously affect ride,
handling, ground clearance, stop-
ping distance, body to tyre clear-
ance, snow tyre clearance, and
speedometer reliability.
It is best to replace all four tyres at the same time. If that is not
possible, or necessary, then
replace the two front or two rear
tyres as a pair. Replacing just one
tyre can seriously affect your
vehicle’s handling.
The ABS works by comparing the speed of the wheels. Tyre size
can affect wheel speed. When
replacing tyres, all 4 tyres must
use the same size originally sup-
plied with the vehicle. Using tyres
of a different size can cause the
ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
and ESP (Electronic Stability
Program) (if equipped) to work
irregularly.

Maintenance
Compact spare tire replacement (if equipped)
A compact spare tire has a shorter tread
life than a regular size tire. Replace it
when you can see the tread wear indica-
tor bars on the tire. The replacementcompact spare tire should be the same
size and design tire as the one provided
with your new vehicle and should bemounted on the same compact spare tire
wheel. The compact spare tire is notdesigned to be mounted on a regular
size wheel, and the compact spare tire
wheel is not designed for mounting a reg-
ular size tire. Wheel replacement
When replacing the metal wheels for any
reason, make sure the new wheels are
equivalent to the original factory units in
diameter, rim width and offset. Tyre traction
Tyre traction can be reduced if you drive
on worn tyres, tyres that are improperly
inflated or on slippery road surfaces.
Tyres should be replaced when tread
wear indicators appear. To reduce the
possibility of losing control, slow down
whenever there is rain, snow or ice onthe road.
Tyre maintenance In addition to proper inflation, correct wheel alignment helps to decrease tyre
wear. If you find a tyre is worn unevenly,
have your dealer check the wheel align-ment.
When you have new tyres installed,
make sure they are balanced. This will
increase vehicle ride comfort and tyre
life. Additionally, a tyre should always be
rebalanced if it is removed from thewheel.
Tyre sidewall labeling
This information identifies and describes
the fundamental characteristics of the
tyre and also provides the tyre identifica-
tion number (TIN) for safety standard
certification. The TIN can be used toidentify the tyre in case of a recall.

A wheel that is not the correct size
may adversely affect wheel and

abilities, handling characteristics,

clearance, snow chain clearance,speedometer and odometer calibra-
tion, headlight aim and bumperheight.
