Compact Spare Tire
{ CAUTION
Driving with more than one
compact spare tire at a time could
result in loss of braking and
handling. This could lead to a
crash and you or others could be
injured. Use only one compact
spare tire at a time.
The compact spare tire was fully
inflated when the vehicle was
new, however, it can lose air after a
time. Check the inflation pressure
regularly. It should be 60 psi
(414 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 intended to
perform well at speeds up to 50 mph
(80 km/h), so you can finish your trip
and have your full-size tire repaired
or replaced where you want. Replace
your spare with a full-size tire as
soon as you can.
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 your compact spare on
other vehicles.
Do not mix your compact spare tire
or wheel with other wheels or tires.
Keep your 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.
