Buick Le Sabre Automobile User Manual


 
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
Pa).
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 posted speed limits 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.

And don’t mix your compact spare tire or wheel with
other wheels
or

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.
