may properly carry. The Tire-Loading Information label
is inside the trunk lid. The label 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 you can carry. This
includes the weight of all occupants, cargo and all
--
nonfactory-installed options. The
other 1abel.is the Certification label, found on the
rear edge of the driver’s door.

GVWR . .
(Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). The GVWR includes the
weight

GVWR for your vehicle or the Gross
Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) for either the front or re*

Don’t try to put the wheel cover on your compact spare
tire. It won’t fit. Store the wheel cover in the trunk until
you have the flat tire repaired or replaced.
NOTICE:
meel covers won’t fit on your compact spare. ~f
you try to put a wheel cover on your compact
spare, you could damage the cover or the spare.
After you’ve put the compact spare tire on your vehicle
you’ll need to store the flat tire
in your trunk. Use the
following procedure to secure the flat tire in the trunk.
Put the flat tire in the trunk
so the side that faces out
when
it is on the vehicle is facing down. The full-size
tire will not
fit down into the well. Place it so the front is
in the well and the rea’ is out of the well. Put
the bolt through one
of the wheel nut holes, install
the retainer over the bolt, then install the wing nut. Put
the spacer and nut next to the tire in the well. Store the
cover as far forward as possible.

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 Pa). 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), 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.
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 spire 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 compact
spare.

When it’s Time for New Tires
One way to tell when it’s
time for new tires
is to
check the treadwear
indicators, which will appear’ when your tires have
only
1/16 inch (1.6 mm) or
less of tread remaining.
You need a new
tire if:
You can see the indicators at three or more places
around the tire.
a’ You can see cord or fabric showing through the tire’s ’
rubber. I
0 The tread or sidewall is cracked, cut or snagged deep
enough to show cord or fabric.
0 The tire has a 1 bump, -., bulge or split.
The tire has a puncture, cut, or other damage that
can’t be repaired well because of the
size or location
of the damage.
Buying \New Tires
To find out what kind and size of tires you need, look at
the Tire-Loading Information label.
Theltires installed
on your vehicle .when it was new had
a Tire Performance Criteria Specification (TPC Spec)
number on each tirk’s sidewall. When you get new tires,
get ones with that same TPC Spec number. That way,
your vehicle will coniinue to have tires that are designed- to give proper endurance, handling, speed rating,
traction, ride and other things during normal service on
your vehicle. If your tires have an all-season tread
design, the TPC number will be foilowed by an
“MS”
(for mud and snow).
If you ever replace, your tires with those not having a
TPC Spec number, make sure they are the same size,
load range, speed rating and construction type (bias,
bias-belted or radial) as your original tires.
