Compact Spare Tire (if equipped)

(1) Wear indicator
(2) Indicator location mark
Your vehicle comes equipped with the
compact spare tire. The compact spare is
designed to save space in your storage
area, and its lighter weight makes it easier
to install if a flat tire occurs. It is only
intended for temporary emergency use,
until the conventional tire can be repaired
or replaced. The inflation pressure of the
compact spare tire should be checked at
least monthly. Use a quality pocket-type
inflation pressure gauge and set at 420
kPa (60 psi). At the same time, check that
the tire is stored securely. If it is not, tighten
it.
Note that two or more compact spare tires
should not be used on one vehicle simulta-
neously.
WARNING
The compact spare tire and wheel are
intended for temporary emergency
use only. Continuous use of this
spare can result in tire failure and
loss of control. Always observe these
precautions when using this spare:
 Your vehicle will handle differently
with this temporary spare.
 Do not exceed 80 km/h (50 mph)
speed.
 Replace this spare with a standard
tire and wheel as soon as possible.
 Use of this spare will reduce
ground clearance.
 Recommended air pressure for this
spare is 420 kPa (60 psi).
 Do not use tire chains on the com-
pact spare. If you must use tire
chains, rearrange the wheels so
standard tires and wheels are fitted
to the front axle.
 The compact spare tire has a much
shorter tread life than the conven-
tional tires on your vehicle.
Replace the tire as soon as the
tread wear indicator appears.
 When replacing the compact tire,
use a replacement tire with the
exact same size and construction.
CAUTION
For intelligent All Wheel Drive (i-
AWD) models, driving with an under-
inflated compact spare tire or over 80
km/h (50 mph) while using a compact
spare tire can result in damage to the
drive train.

instructions in the “EMERGENCY SER-
VICE” section in this manual).

6) Lower the jack and fully tighten the nuts
(to the specified torque) in a crisscross
fashion with a wrench as shown in the
illustration.Snow TiresYour vehicle is equipped with all-season
tires which are designed for use in summer
and most winter conditions. For improved
traction in severe winter conditions,
SUZUKI recommends mounting radial
snow tires on all four wheels. Snow tires
must be the same size as the standard
tires. Also be sure to use the tires of the
same type and brand on all four wheels of
your vehicle.
