Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine COMPACT SPARE TIRE
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 Wa). 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 posted
speed limits for distances up to
3,000 miles (5 000 km). The compact
spare is made to go 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. 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 Warning
Light”
in the Index.
NOTICE:
Don’t take your compact spare 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.
Don’t use your compact spare on some other vehicle.
And don’t
mix your compact spare or wheel with other wheels or tires.
They won’t fit. Keep your spare and its wheel together.

Two labels on your vehicle show how much weight it may properly carry.
The Tire-Loading Information label found on the driver's door tells you
the proper
size, speed rating and recommended inflation pressures for
the tires on your vehicle. It also gives you important information about
the number of people that can be in your vehicle and the total weight that
you can carry. This weight is called the Vehicle Capacity Weight and
includes the weight
of all occupants, cargo, and all nonfactory-installed
options.

The Tire-Loading Information label which is shows the correct inflation
pressures for your tires, when they’re cold. “Cold” means your vehicle has
been sitting
for at least three hours or driven no more than a mile.
SLS (270 hp)
If you’ll be driving at speeds higher than 100 mph (160 km/h) where it is
legal, raise the “cold” inflation pressure
of each tire to 35 psi (240 kPa).
When you end this
very high speed driving, reduce the “cold” inflation
pressures to those listed
on the Tire-Loading Information label.

NOTICE:
Don’t let anyone tell you that underidlation or overinflation is
all right. It’s not. If your tires don’t have enough air
(underinflation) you can get:
Too much flexing
Too much heat
Tire overloading
Bad wear
Bad handling
Bad fuel economy.
If your tires have
too much air (overinflation), you can get:
Unusual wear
Bad handling
Rough ride
Needless damage from road hazards.

How to Check Use a good quality pocket-type gage to check tire
pressure. Simply looking at the tires will not tell you the pressure,
especially if you have radial tires
-- which may look properly inflated even
if they’re underinflated.
If your tires have valve caps, be sure to put them back on. They help
prevent leaks by keeping out dirt and moisture.
When to Check Check your tires once a month or more.
The
SLS tire pressures are:
Front - 28 psi (190 kPa)
Rear - 26 psi (180 Pa)
SLS recommended tire size is:
Michelin XW4 Blackwall (P225/60R16)
291

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The STS tire pressures are:
Front - 29 psi (200 kPa)
Rear - 29 psi (200 kPa)
STS recommended tire size is:
Eagle GA (2-Rated) Blackwall (P225/60ZR16)
Don’t forget your compact spare tire. It should be at 60 psi
(420 kPa).
Tire Inspection and Rotation
To make your tires last longer, have them inspected and rotated at the
mileages recommended
in the Maintenance Schedule. See “Scheduled
Maintenance Services”
in the Index.
Use this rotation
pattern.
After the tires have been rotated, adjust the front and rear inflation
pressure as shown
on the Tire-Loading Information label. Make certain
that all wheel nuts are properly tightened. See “Wheel Nut Torque” in the
Index.
