Compact Spare Tire

The compact spare tire was fully
inflated when the vehicle was new,
it can lose air after a time. Check
the inflation pressure regularly.
It should be 60 psi (414 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 intended to
perform well at speeds up to 50 mph
(80 km/h), so you can finish your trip
and have your full-size tire repaired
or replaced where you want. Replace
your spare with a full-size tire as
soon as you can.
Notice: When the compact spare
is installed, do not take the vehicle
through an automatic car wash
with guide rails. The compact
spare can get caught on the rails
which can damage the tire, wheel
and other parts of the vehicle.
Do not use your compact spare on
other vehicles.
Do not mix your compact spare
tire or wheel with other wheels or
tires. Keep your spare tire and
its wheel together.
Notice: Tire chains will not
fit the compact spare. Using
them can damage the vehicle
and can damage the chains too.
Do not use tire chains on the
compact spare.
