wrench until the tire is secure
and the cable is tight. The

securely. Push, pull (1), and then
try to turn (2) the tire. If the tire

the way.

If this vehicle came with a full-size
spare tire, it was fully inflated when
new, however, it can lose air over
time. Check the inflation pressure
regularly. See
and
. For instructions on
how to remove, install, or store a
spare tire, see
.
After installing the spare tire on
the vehicle, stop as soon as
possible and check that the spare
is correctly inflated. The spare tire is
made to perform well at speeds
up to 112 km/h (70 mph) at the
recommended inflation pressure, so
you can finish your trip.
Have the damaged or flat road tire
repaired or replaced back onto the
vehicle, as soon as possible, so the
spare tire will be available in case it
is needed again.
Do not mix tires and wheels of
different sizes, because they will not
fit. Keep the spare tire and its wheel
together.
