Spare Tire
Your vehicle, when new, had a fully-inated
spare tire. A spare tire may lose air over time,
so check its ination pressure regularly. See
Ination - Tire Pressure on page 488andLoading
Your Vehicle on page 392for information
regarding proper tire ination and loading your
vehicle. For instruction on how to remove, install,
or store a spare tire, seeRemoving the Flat
Tire and Installing the Spare Tire on page 512
andStoring a Flat or Spare Tire and Tools
on page 522.
After installing the spare tire on your vehicle, you
should stop as soon as possible and make
sure the spare is correctly inated. Have the
damaged or at road tire repaired or replaced as
soon as you can and installed back onto your
vehicle. This way, a spare tire will be available
in case you need it again.
Your vehicle may have a different size spare tire
than the road tires, those originally installed on your
vehicle. This spare tire was developed for use on
your vehicle, so it is all right to drive on it.
Appearance Care
Cleaning the Inside of Your Vehicle
Your vehicle’s interior will continue to look its
best if it is cleaned often. Although not always
visible, dust and dirt can accumulate on your
upholstery. Dirt can damage carpet, fabric, leather,
and plastic surfaces. Regular vacuuming is
recommended to remove particles from your
upholstery. It is important to keep your upholstery
from becoming and remaining heavily soiled.
Soils should be removed as quickly as possible.
Your vehicle’s interior may experience extremes
of heat that could cause stains to set rapidly.
Lighter colored interiors may require more frequent
cleaning. Use care because newspapers and
garments that transfer color to your home
furnishings may also transfer color to your
vehicle’s interior.
When cleaning your vehicle’s interior, only use
cleaners specically designed for the surfaces
being cleaned. Permanent damage may result from
using cleaners on surfaces for which they were not
intended. Use glass cleaner only on glass.
526

At Each Fuel Fill
It is important to perform these underhood checks
at each fuel ll.
Engine Oil Level Check
Check the engine oil level and add the proper
oil if necessary. SeeEngine Oil on page 432for
further details.
Notice:It is important to check your oil
regularly and keep it at the proper level. Failure
to keep your engine oil at the proper level
can cause damage to your engine not covered
by your warranty.
Engine Coolant Level Check
Check the engine coolant level and add
DEX-COOL®coolant mixture if necessary. See
Engine Coolant on page 445for further details.
Windshield Washer Fluid Level Check
Check the windshield washer uid level in
the windshield washer uid reservoir and add the
proper uid if necessary.
At Least Once a Month
Tire Ination Check
Visually inspect your vehicle’s tires and make sure
they are inated to the correct pressures. Do
not forget to check the spare tire. SeeTires on
page 480for further details. Check to make
sure the spare tire is stored securely. See
Changing a Flat Tire on page 506.
Tire Wear Inspection

highway drivers prior to the Engine Oil Life System
