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 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 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. 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.
