Note: The pressure for your spare tire should be set to the highest value given for your vehicle’s 
wheel/tire size combination and adjusted after fitment.
Note: When towing a heavily laden trailer, tire pressures should be increased to the maximum 
specified in the handbook, and road speeds limited to 100 km/h (60 mph). This excludes the compact 
spare wheel
