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.
