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 Wa). 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.

Two labels on your vehicle show how much weight it may properly carry.
The Tire-Loading Information label found
on the driver’s door 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 that
you can carry. This weight is called the Vehicle Capacity Weight and
includes the weight
of all occupants, cargo, and all nonfactory-installed

Overloading your tires can cause overheating as a result of
too
much friction. You could have an air-out and a serious
accident. See “Loading Your Vehicle” in the Index.
Underinflated tires pose the
same danger as overloaded
tires. The resulting accident could cause serious iqjury.
Check all tires frequently to maintain the recommended
pressure. Tire pressure should be checked when your tires
are cold.
Overinflated tires are more likely to be cut, punctured, or
broken by a sudden impach such as whenyou hit a pothole.
Keep
tires at the recommended pressure.
Worn, old tires
can cause accidents. If your tread is badly
worn, or if your tires have been damaged, replace them.

Inflation - Tire Pressure
The Tire-Loading Information label which is on the driver’s door shows
the correct inflation pressures for your tires, when they’re
cold. “Cold”
means your vehicle has been sitting for at least three hours or driven no
more than a mile.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine How to Check Use a good quality pocket-type gage to check tire
pressure. Simply looking at the tires will not tell you the pressure,
especially if you have radial tires
-- which may look properly inflated even
if they’re underinflated.
If your tires have valve caps, be sure to put them back on. They help
prevent leaks by keeping out dirt and moisture.
Tire Inspection and Rotation
To make your tires last longer, have them inspected and rotated at the
mileages recommended in your Maintenance Schedule. See “Scheduled Maintenance Service” in the Index.
FRONT Use this rotation pattern.
After the tires have been rotated, adjust the front and rear inflation
pressure as shown on the Tire-Loading Information label. Make certain
that all wheel nuts are properly tightened.
See “Wheel Nut Torque” in the
Index.
