Compact Spare
Tire
(If
So
Equipped)
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 rnake 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.
Your anti-lock brake system warning light may come on
when you are driving with a compact spare. See
“Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light” in the Index.
NOTICE:
When the compact spare
is
installed, don’t take
your vehicle 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
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.
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.
