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.
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.
Don’t use your compact spare on other vehicles.
And don’t mix your compact spare tire or wheel with
other wheels or tires. They won’t fit. Keep your spare tire
and its wheel together.
Notice:
Tire chains won’t fit your compact spare.
Using them can damage your vehicle and can
damage the chains too. Don’t use tire chains on
your compact spare.
