Although the compact spare 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 kPa). The compact spare is made to go up to 3,000
miles (5000 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.
Your anti-lock brake system warning light may come on when you are
driving with a compact spare. See “Anti-Lock Brake System Wa\
rning
Light”
in the Index.

of
your vehicle.
