CAUTION:
Storing a
jack,
a tire or other equipment in the passenger
compartment of the vehicle could cause injury.
In
a sudden stop
or collision, loose equipment could strike someone. Store
all
these in the proper place.
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:
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.
