Wagon Spare Cover Replacement
To install the spare tire cover in your station wagon
when you are finished changing the tire:
1. Put the front lower corner of the cover into the floor
track. Overlap the lower rear edge of the front panel
one to two inches.
2. Slide the cover to the front; the tabs must go under
the rear edge.
3. Insert the front upper corner into the track, at the
bottom of the glass.
4. Adjust the position of the cover to fit over the
weatherstrip. Push the panel down into the track in
the floor.
5 . Push the panel to lock
it
into the track of the molding
at the bottom of the glass.
Compact Spare Tire
Although the compact spare was fully inflated when
your vehicle was new, it can lose air after a time. Check
the inflation pressure regularly. It should be 60 psi
(420 kPa). After installing the compact spare on your
vehicle, you should stop as soon as possible and make
sure your spare tire is correctly inflated. The compact
spare is made to perform well at posted speed limits for
distances up to 3,000 miles ( 5 000 km), so you can
finish your trip and have your full-size tire repaired or
replaced where you want. Of course, it's best to replace
your spare with a full-size tire as soon as you can. Your
spare will last longer and be in good shape in case you
need it again.

NOTICE:
I
Don't take your compact spare through an
1
automatic car wash with guide rails. The
compact spare can get caught on the rails. That
can damage the tire and wheel, and maybe other
parts of your vehicle.
