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). 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.
NOTICE:
If the compact spare is used as a rear
tire, do not drive faster than
50 mph
(80 km/h). Damage to the rear axle
may occur if the compact spare is
driven faster than
50 mph (80 km/h).
This speed limitation does not apply
when the compact spare is used as a
front tire.
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 dam-
age 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.
NOTICE:
Tire chains won’t fit your compact
spare. Using them will damage your
vehicle and destroy the chains too.
Don’t use tire chains on your com-
pact spare.

Loading Your Vehicle
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.

ncludes the weight of the vehicle, all
lccupants, fuel and cargo. Never exceed
le GVWR for your vehicle, or the Gross

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Inflation - Tire Pressure
The Tire-Loading Information label
which is on the driver’s door shows the
2orrect 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.
[f your vehicle is equipped with
P245/50ZR16 tires and 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 @a). 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 underinflation or overinflation is all right. It’s not.
If your tires don’t have enough air (underinflation) you can get:
0 Too much flexing
Too much heat
Tire overloading
0 Bad wear
0 Bad handling
Bad fuel economy.
If your tires have too much air (overinflation), you can get:
0 Unusual wear
Bad handling
Rough ride
Needless damage from road hazards.

When to Check: Check your tires once a
month or more. Don’t forget your
compact spare tire. It should be at
60 psi
(420 kPa).
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. 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.
[f you don’t have P245/50ZR16 size tires
use the rotation pattern shown above for
your size tires.
4-
f you have P245/50ZR16 size tires, they
nust roll in
a certain direction for the best
werall performance. The direction is
hown by an arrow on both sidewalls.
3ecause these tires are directional, they
hould be rotated as shown
in the
:xample above. These tires should only
,e moved from front to rear and rear to
ront on the same side of the vehicle.
ifter the tires have been rotated, adjust
he front and rear inflation pressure as
.hown on

abel. Make certain that all wheel nuts are
u-operly tightened. See “Wheel Nut
rorque” in the Index.
