Spare Tire
Your vehicle, when new, had a fully-inflated spare
tire. A spare tire may lose air over time, so check its
inflation pressure regularly. See Inflation - Tire
Pressure on page 388 and Loading Your Vehicle on
page 296 for information regarding proper tire
inflation and loading your vehicle. For instruction on
how to remove, install or store a spare tire, see
Removing the Flat Tire and Installing the Spare Tire
on page 410 and Storing a Flat or Spare Tire and
Tools on page 420.
After installing the spare tire on your vehicle, you
should stop as soon as possible and make
sure the spare is correctly inflated. The spare tire
is made to perform well at speeds up to 70 mph
(112 km/h) at the recommended inflation pressure,
so you can finish your trip.
Have the damaged or flat road tire repaired or
replaced as soon as you can and installed back
onto your vehicle. This way, a spare tire will be
available in case you need it again. Do not mix tires
and wheels of different sizes, because they will not
fit. Keep your spare tire and its wheel together.
Appearance Care
Cleaning the Inside of Your Vehicle
Your vehicle’s interior will continue to look its
best if it is cleaned often. Although not always
visible, dust and dirt can accumulate on your
upholstery. Dirt can damage carpet, fabric, leather,
and plastic surfaces. Regular vacuuming is
recommended to remove particles from your
upholstery. It is important to keep your upholstery
from becoming and remaining heavily soiled.
Soils should be removed as quickly as possible.
Your vehicle’s interior may experience extremes of
heat that could cause stains to set rapidly.
Lighter colored interiors may require more frequent
cleaning. Use care because newspapers and
garments that transfer color to your home
furnishings may also transfer color to your
vehicle’s interior.
