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
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.
When the compact spare is
on
the rear axle,
the
optional
traction control system will cycle and limit acceleration
for about the first
15
seconds
of
driving after each
engine start.
I
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.
