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 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:
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.
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.
