Storing a jack, a tire or other equipment in the
passenger compartment
of the vehicle could
cause injury.
In a sudden stop or collision, loose
equipment could strike someone. Store all these
in the p-per place.

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 kPa). The compact spare is made to go up to 3,000
miles (5000 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.
Your anti-lock brake system warning light may come
on
when you are driving with a compact spare. See
"Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light"
in the Index.
NOTICE:
' Don't take your compact spare through an
automatic car wash with guide rails. The
compact spare can get caught
on the rails. Tha
can damage 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.
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

on a vehicle without knowing enough about it
Be sure you have sufficient knowledge,
experience, and the proper replacement
parts and tools before you attempt any
vehicle maintenance task.

the mileage and
the date of any service work you
perform. See “Maintenance Record” in the Index.
