FOR EMERGENCIES

The spare wheel is stored beneath the floor
board of the luggage compartment; to re-
move it, using the wheel nut wrench, remove
the bolt securing the spare wheel, and take
out the spare wheel.Compact spare wheel*
The compact spare tyre is designed to save
space in the luggage compartment and its
lighter weight makes it easier to use if a flat
tyre occurs.
CAUTION
(1) The pressure should be period-
ically checked and maintained at
the specified pressure while the
tyre is stowed.
Driving with an insufficient tyre
pressure can lead to an accident.
If you have no choice but to drive
with an insufficient tyre pressure,
keep your speed down and inflate
the tyre to the correct pressure as
soon as possible. (Refer to “Tyre
inflation pressure” on page
9–12.)
(2) The compact spare wheel is for
temporary use only and should
be removed as soon as the orig-
inal wheel can be repaired or re-
placed.
Flange nuts are used for some
type of aluminium wheel. These
wheel nuts can be used temporar-
ily on the compact spare wheel.
CAUTION
(3) The vehicle must not be driven at
speeds in excess of 80 km/h while
using the compact spare wheel.
(4) The compact spare tyre is not so
good as the standard spare tyre
in controllability and stability.
When the compact spare tyre is
used, avoid quick starts, sudden
braking and sharp steering.
(5) Avoid driving through automatic
vehicle washers and over ob-
stacles that could possibly dam-
age the vehicle’s undercarriage.
Because the compact spare
wheel is smaller than the original
wheel, the ground clearance is
slightly reduced.
(6) The compact spare wheel is spe-
cifically designed for your vehicle
and it should not be used on any
other vehicle.
