Storing the Spare
Tire
and
Tools
The compact spare tire is for temporary use only.
Replace the compact spare tire with a full-size tire as
soon
as
you can. See “Compact Spare Tire” later
in
this
section. See the storage instructions label to replace your
compact spare into your trunk properly.
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
Pa).
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
krn),
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.
