Compact Spare Tire
Although the compact spare tire 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 speeds up
to
65
mph
(105
km/h)
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:
I
When the compact spare is installed, don’t take
your vehicle 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
other vehicles.
And don’t mix your compact spare tire or wheel with
other wheels or tires. They won’t fit. Keep your spare
tire and its wheel together.
NOTICE:
Tire chains won’t fit your compact spare. Using
them can damage
your
vehicle and can damage
the chains too. Don’t use tire chains on
your
compact spare.
