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.
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.
