Compact Spare Tire
Although the compact spare tire was fully inated when
your vehicle was new, it can lose air after a time.
Check the ination pressure regularly. It should be
60 psi (420 kPa).After installing the compact spare tire on your vehicle,
you should stop as soon as possible and make sure the
spare tire is correctly inated. The compact spare tire
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 nish your trip and have your full-size
tire repaired or replaced where you want. You must
calibrate the Check Tire Pressure System after installing
or removing the compact spare. SeeCheck Tire
Pressure System on page 5-63. Of course, it is best to
replace your spare tire with a full-size tire as soon
as you can. The compact spare tire will last longer and
be in good shape in case you need it again.
Notice:When the compact spare is installed, do
not 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.
Do not use the compact spare tire on other vehicles.
And do not mix your compact spare tire or wheel
with other wheels or tires. They will not t. Keep your
compact spare tire and its wheel together.
Notice:Tire chains will not t your compact spare.
Using them can damage your vehicle and can
damage the chains too. Do not use tire chains on
your compact spare.
