Chevrolet Impala Owner Manual - 2011
Vehicle Care 10-69
Although the compact spare tire
was fully inflated when the
vehicle was new, it can lose air
after a time. Check the inflation
pressure regularly. It should be
420 kPa (60 psi).
After installing the compact spare
on the vehicle, you should stop as
soon as possible and make sure
the spare tire is correctly inflated.
The compact spare is made to
perform well at speeds up to
105 km/h (65 mph) for distances up
to 5 000 km (3,000 miles), so you
can finish your trip and have the
full-size tire repaired or replaced
where you want. You must calibrate
the tire inflation monitor system
after installing or removing the
compact spare. See Tire Pressure
Monitor System on page 10‑46.
The system may not work correctly
when the compact spare is installed
on the vehicle. Of course, it's best to
replace the spare with a full-size tire
as soon as you can. The spare will
last longer and be in good shape in
case you need it again.
Notice: When the compact spare
is installed, do not take the
vehicle through an automatic car
wash with guide rails. The
compact spare can get caught on
the rails which can damage the
tire, wheel and other parts of the
vehicle.
Do not use the compact spare on
other vehicles.
And do not mix the compact spare
tire or wheel with other wheels or
tires. They will not fit. Keep the
spare tire and its wheel together.
Notice: Tire chains will not fit the
compact spare. Using them can
damage the vehicle and can
damage the chains too.
Do not use tire chains on the
compact spare.
