Compact Spare Tire
Although the compact spare was fully
inflated when your vehicle was new, it
can lase air after a time. Check the
inflation pressure regularly. It should be
60 psi (420 1tPa). The compact spare is
made to go up to 3,000 miles (5 OOO 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 .s.parewith .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.

the weight of all occupants, cargo, and
all nonfactory-installed options. The other
label is the Certification label,
