Compact
Spare
Tire
Although the compact spare tire
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 speeds
up
to 65 mph
(105 km/h) 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.
I
NOTICE:
When the compact spare
is
installed, don’t take
your vehicle through an automatic vehicle 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 other vehicles.
And
don’t mix
your
compact spare tire or wheel
with
other wheels or tires. They won’t
fit.
Keep
your
spare
tire and its wheel together.
I
NOTICE:
Tire chains won’t fit your compact spare. Using
them can damage your vehicle and can damage
the chains too. Don’t use tire chains on your
compact spare.
