COMPACT
SPARE
The compact spare is designed
to
save
space in'
your
trunk
and its lighter weight
makes it easier
to
use
if
a flat tire occurs.
The lighter weight also helps
to
improve-
fuel economy.
If
a flat tire occurs, follow the jacking
instructions (located in this manual) while
keeping these points
in mind:
• Check inflation pressure as soon as
practical after installing
the
spare (use
of
a pocket
type
truck inflation pressure
gage is advised) and adjust
to
60 psi (415
kPa). The tire pressure should
be
periodically checked and maintained
at
60 psi (415 kPa) while
the
tire is stored.
• Continuous use
at
speeds over
SO
mph
(80
km/h)
is
not recommended.
• Because the
tire
is smaller
than
the
standard tire, car ground clearance
is
slightly reduced.
N011CE:
Avoid
driving through automatic
car
washes and over obstacles that could
possibly damage the car's undercarriage,
• A tread life
of
1,000
to
3,000 miles
(1
600
to
4800
km) can
be
expected,
depending
on
road conditions
and
your
driving habits. To conserve tire tread
life,
the
spare should be returned
to
the
trunk
as soon as the standard tire can be
repaired
or
replaced.
