gency.
●Make sure to check the tire infla-
tion pressure of the compact
spare tire. ( P.667)
■When using the compact spare
tire
As the compact sp are tire is not
equipped with a tire pressure warn-

spare tire after th e tire pressure
warning light comes on, the light
remains on.
■When the compact spare tire is

lower when driving with the compact
spare tire compared to when driving
with standard tires.
■If you have a flat front tire on a
road covered with snow or ice
Install the compact spare tire on one
of the rear wheels of the vehicle.
Perform the following steps and fit
tire chains to the front tires:
1 Replace a rear tire with the com-
pact spare tire.
2 Replace the flat front tire with the
tire removed from the rear of the
vehicle.
3 Fit tire chains to the front tires.

Before storing the jack, adjust the height of the ja
ck to match the
shape of the jack holder.
