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
Wa).
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.
