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 P 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 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:
Don't take your compact spare 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.
Don't use your compact spare on some other vehicle.
And don't mix your compact spare or wheel with other
wheels or tires. They won't fit. Keep your spare and its
wheel together.
NOTICE:
Tire chains won't fit your compact spare. Using
them will damage your vehicle and destroy the
chains too. Don't use tire chains
on
your compact
spare.
