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
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
perfom well at speeds up
to
65
mph
(105
km/h)
for
distances
up
to
3,000
miles
(5
OOO
km),
so
you can
finish
your trip
and
have
your
full-size tire repaired or replaced
where
you
want.
(When
the
compact
spare
is
used
on
the
rear axle,
see
Notice following.) 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:
If
the compact spare is used as
a
rear tire, do not
drive faster than
50
mph
(80
M).
Damage to
the rear axle may occur if the compact spare is
driven faster than
50
mph
(80
km/h).
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.
