Spare Tire
This vehicle may have a spare tire. Although the
spare tire was fully inflated when the vehicle was new,
it can lose air after a time. Check the inflation pressure
regularly. See Inflation - Tire Pressure on page 5-65
and Loading the Vehicle on page 4-33 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 5-97 and Storing a Flat or Spare Tire and
Tools on page 5-106.
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
Interior Cleaning
The vehicle’s interior will continue to look its best if it is
cleaned often. Although not always visible, dust and
dirt can accumulate on the upholstery. Dirt can damage
carpet, fabric, leather, and plastic surfaces. Regular
vacuuming is recommended to remove particles from the
upholstery. It is important to keep the upholstery from
becoming and remaining heavily soiled. Soils should be
removed as quickly as possible. The 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 home furnishings may also
transfer color to the vehicle’s interior.
