Snow chains
For technical reasons, the use of snow chains on the compact spare tire is not permitted.
If you have to drive with snow chains and a front tire fails, mount the spare tire in place of a rear tire. Install the snow chains on the rear tire that you removed, and install that in place of the front tire that failed.
WARNING
- After installing a spare tire, the tire pressure must be checked as soon as possible.
- Do not drive faster than 50 mph (80 km/h) with a compact spare tire. Driving faster than that increases the risk of an accident.
- To reduce the risk of an accident, avoid hard acceleration or braking and driving fast around curves with the compact spare tire.
- To reduce the risk of an accident, never drive
with more than one compact spare tire.
Normal summer or winter tires must not be mounted on the compact spare wheel rim.
