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

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.
