1. Lift up the luggage floor board.
For front-wheel drive vehicles, pull the
luggage floor board (A) rearward to
release the hooks (B), and then lift it up.
2. To remove the spare tire, remove the
installation clamp (C) by turning it coun-
terclockwise.
 Do not go over 50 mph (80 km/h) when driv-
ing with the compact spare tire.
 Avoid fast starting and braking when driving
with the compact spare tire.
 Do not drive through automatic car washes
and over obstacles that could possibly dam-
age the underside of your vehicle. Because
the compact spare tire is smaller than the
original tire, there is less clearance between
the ground and your vehicle.
 Because the compact spare tire is designed
only for your vehicle, do not use it on any
other vehicle.
 Do not put the compact spare tire on a differ-
ent wheel, and do not put standard tires,
snow tires, wheel covers or trim rings on the
compact spare wheel. Otherwise, you could
damage these parts or other parts on your
vehicle.
 Do not use snow chain with your compact
spare tire. Using a chain could cause damage
to your vehicle and loss of the chains.
CAUTION
To remove the compact spare
tire
NOTE
 The clamp cannot be used for a normal size
tire. Store a normal size tire under the lug-
gage floor board.
 Put the spare tire under the vehicle body near
the jack. This makes it safer if the jack slips
out of position.
