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.

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

To make your  tires  last  longer, have them inspected and  rotated  at  the 
mileages  recommended  in the  Maintenance  Schedule. See “Scheduled 
- Maintenance  Services”  in the Index.  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. 
A CAUTION: 
Rust  or  dirt  on a wheel, or on  the  parts  to  which  it is  fastened, 
can  make  wheel  nuts become  loose  after a time.  The wheel  could 
come 
off and  cause  an accident.  When you change a wheel, 
remove  any rust 
or dirt  from places  where the wheel  attaches  to 
the  vehicle.  In  an emergency,  you  can use 
a cloth or a paper  towel 
to do this;  but be sure  to use a  scraper 
or wire brush  later, if  you 
need  to,  to get  all  the  rust 
or dirt off. (See “Changing a Flat Tire” 
in  the  Index.)
