COMPACT SPARE TIRE (IF SO EQUIPPED)
r t
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 Wa). 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.

damage your vehicle and destroy the chains too. Don't use tire
chains on your compact spare.
