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 i* u
repaired or replaced where you want. Of course, it’s best to replace your I
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.
Don’t use your compact spare on some other vehicle.

First, turn your steering wheel left and right. That will clear the area
around your front wheels. Then shift back and forth between
“R7
(Reverse) and a forward gear , spinning the wheels as little as possible.
Release the accelerator pedal while you shift, and press lightly on the
accelerator pedal when the transmission
is in gear. If that doesn’t get you
out after a
few tries, you may need to be towed out. If you do need to be
towed out, see “Towing Your Cadillac” in the Index.
