Compact Spare Tire
{CAUTION
Driving with more than one
compact spare tire at a time could
result in loss of braking and
handling. This could lead to a
crash and you or others could be
injured. Use only one compact
spare tire at a time.
Although the compact spare tire
was fully inated when the
vehicle was new, it can lose air
after a time. Check the ination
pressure regularly. It should be
60 psi (420 kPa).After installing the compact spare
on the vehicle, stop as soon
as possible and make sure the
spare tire is correctly inated.
The compact spare is made to
perform well at speeds up to
65 mph (105 km/h) for distances up
to 3,000 miles (5 000 km), so
you can nish your trip and have
the full-size tire repaired or replaced
at your convenience. Of course, it
is best to replace the spare with
a full-size tire as soon as possible.
The spare tire will last longer
and be in good shape in case it is
needed again.Notice:When the compact
spare is installed, do not take
the vehicle through an automatic
car wash with guide rails.
The compact spare can get
caught on the rails which can
damage the tire, wheel and other
parts of the vehicle.
Do not use the compact spare on
other vehicles.
And do not mix the compact spare
tire or wheel with other wheels
or tires. They will not t. Keep the
spare tire and its wheel together.
Notice:Tire chains will not t the
compact spare. Using them can
damage the vehicle and can
damage the chains too. Do not
use tire chains on the compact
spare.
