Compact Spare Tire - Chevrolet 1997 Camaro Owner's Manual

Compact Spare Tire
Although the compact spare tire 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 E a ) .
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 speeds up to 65 mph (105
km/h)
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. (When the compact spare is used on
the rear axle, see Notice below.) 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.
When the compact spare is on the rear axle, the optional
ASR system will cycle and limit acceleration for about
the first 15 seconds of driving after each engine start.

NOTICE:
If
the compact
spare is used as a rear tire, do
not
drive faster than 50 mph (80 km/h). Damage to
the rear axle may occur if the compact spare is
driven faster than 50 mph (80 W).
NOTICE:
When the compact spare is installed, don't take
your vehicle through an 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.
