Spare Tire
Your vehicle may have a spare tire, which, when
new, was fully inflated. A spare tire may lose air
over time, so check its inflation pressure regularly.
See Inflation - Tire Pressure on page 402 and
Loading Your Vehicle on page 327 for information
regarding proper tire inflation and loading your
vehicle. For instructions on how to remove, install or
store a spare tire, see Removing the Flat Tire and
Installing the Spare Tire on page 423.
After installing the spare tire on your vehicle, you
should stop as soon as possible and make
sure the spare is correctly inflated. Have the
damaged or flat road tire repaired or replaced as
soon as you can and installed back onto your
vehicle. This way, a spare tire will be available in
case you need it again.
Your vehicle may have a different size spare tire
than the road tire originally installed on your
vehicle. This spare tire was developed for use on
your vehicle, so it is all right to drive on it.
If your vehicle has a spare tire that does not
match your vehicle's original road tires and wheels
in size and type, do not include the spare in the
tire rotation.

Appearance Care

Cleaning the Inside of Your Vehicle

Your vehicle's interior will continue to look its
best if it is cleaned often. Although not always
visible, dust and dirt can accumulate on your
upholstery. Dirt can damage carpet, fabric, leather,
and plastic surfaces. Regular vacuuming is
recommended to remove particles from your
upholstery. It is important to keep your upholstery
from becoming and remaining heavily soiled.
Soils should be removed as quickly as possible.
Your vehicle's interior may experience extremes of
heat that could cause stains to set rapidly.
Lighter colored interiors may require more frequent
cleaning. Use care because newspapers and
garments that transfer color to your home
furnishings may also transfer color to your
vehicle's interior.
When cleaning your vehicle's interior, only use
cleaners specifically designed for the surfaces
being cleaned. Permanent damage may result
from using cleaners on surfaces for which they
were not intended. Use glass cleaner only on glass.
