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
Ea).
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. (When
the
compact spare
is
used
on
the rear axle, see Notice below.)
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.
When the compact spare
is
on the rear axle, the optional
ASR
system will cycle and
limit
acceleration for about
the first
15
seconds
of
driving after each engine start.

NOTICE:
If
the compact
spare
is
used
as
a
rear tire,
do
not
drive faster than
50
mph
(80
km/h). Damage to
the rear axle may occur
if
the compact spare
is
driven faster than
50
mph
(80
W).
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.
