■The compact spare tire
●The compact spare tire saves in your luggage compartment.
●Its lighter weight helps to enhance fuel economy.
●It permits easier installation
in case of a flat tire.
●Make sure to check the tire inflation pressure of the compact spare
tire. ( P. 340)
■After completing the tire change
The tire pressure warning system must be reset. (P. 239)
■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 warning system. Also, if you replace the
compact spare tire after the tire pressure warning light comes on, the
light remains on.
