NOTICE:
Compact
Spare
Tire
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
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
made to perform well at posted speed limits for
distances
up
to
3,000
miles
(5
000
km). The compact
spare is made to
go
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.
Don’t take your compact spare 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.
Don’t use your compact spare on some other vehicle.
And don’t mix your compact spare or wheel with other
wheels or tires. They won’t fit. Keep your spare and its
wheel together.
NOTICE:
Tire chains won’t
fit
your compact spare. Using
them will damage your vehicle and destroy the
chains too. Don’t use tire chains on your
compact spare.
