7. Tighten the wing nut to secure the tire to the floor.
Push and pull on the tire to make sure the tire is
secure and does not move.
8. Put back all tools as they were stored in the storage
compartment. Attach the wrench back to the jack.
Put the jack base on the bracket tab and sit the jack
properly between the two “ears” of the bracket. Use
the bolt to tighten the jack.
9. Put the compartment cover back on.
To put the cover back on, slip the tabs on the bottom
of the cover into the bottom of the cover opening.
Push the cover in place and push down the tab on the
top of the cover so that it rests in the groove. This
secures the cover in place.
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 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.
