Make sure the tire and carrier are secure.
Driving with the tire or carrier unlatched could
injure pedestrians or damage the vehicle.
Compact Spare
Tire
(If
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 make sure
your spare tire
is
correctly inflated. The compact
spare is made to perform well at speeds up
to
65
mph
(I
05
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.
