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.
Don‘t use your compact spare
on
some other vehicle.
And don’t mix your compact spare or wheel
with
other
wheels or tires. They won’t fit. Keep your spare and its
wheel together.
I
NOTICE:
Tire chains won’t
fit
your compact spare. Using
them will damage your vehicle and destroy the
chains too. Don’t use tire chains on your compact
spare.
