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
Ha).
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
rnph (105
k d h )
for
distances up to 3,000 miles (5 000
krn),
so
YOU
can finish
your trip
and
have your full-size tire repaired or replaced
where you want. You must calibrate the
T i r e
Pressure
Monitor after installing or removing the compact spare.
See "Driver Information Center
-
Controls and Displays"
in the Index. 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:
When
the compact
spare is installed, don't take
your vehicle through an automatic vehicle 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 other vehicles.
And don't mix your compact spare tire or wheel with
other wheels or
tires. They
won't fit. Keep your spare
tire and its wheel together.
NOTICE:
Tire chains won't
fit
your compact spare. Using
them can damage your vehicle and can damage
the 'chains too. Don't use tire chains on your
compact spare.
