compact spare tire.
It won’t fit. Store the
wheel cover and plastic cap nuts in the
trunk or rear area until you have the flat
tire repaired or replaced.

MU I IVN 1
Storing a jack, a tire, or other
:quipment 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 proper place.
The compact spare is for temporary use
only. Replace the compact spare tire
with a full-size tire as soon as you can.
See
Compact Spare Tire next in this
section.
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 (5 000 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 the
Index
under Anti-Lock Brake System Warning
Light.
