●Its lighter weight helps to enhance fuel economy.
●It permits easier installation in case of a flat tire.

tire. ( P. 344)
■After completing the tire change
The tire pressure warnin g system must be reset. ( P. 241)
■When using the compact spare tire
As the compact spare tire is not equipped with a tire pressure warning
valve and transmitter, low inflation pressure of the spare tire will not be
indicated by the tire pressure warn ing system. Also, if you replace the
compact spare tire after the tire pressure warning light comes on, the
light remains on.
