A
CAUTION:
Storing
a
jack,
a tire
or
other equipment
in
the passenger
compartment
of
the vehicle
could
cause injury.
In
a sudden stop
or collision, loose equipment
could
strike someone. Store
all
these
in
the
proper
place.
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),
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.
NOTICE:
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.
