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 
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  Wa\
rning 
Light” 
in the  Index.

NOTICE: - 
Don’t  take  your  compact  spare  through  an  automatic  car  wash 
with  guide  rails.  The  compact  spare  can  get  caught  on  the  rai\
ls. 
That  can  damage  the  tire  and  wheel,  and  maybe  other  parts 
of 
your  vehicle. 
Don’t  use  your  compact  spare on some other  vehicle. 
And  don’t  mix  your  compact  spare or wheel  with  other wheels  or tires. 
They  won’t  fit.  Keep  your  spare  and  its  wheel  together.

The Tire-Loading  Information  label  which  is  located  on  the  driver’\
s  door 
shows  the correct  inflation  pressures  for  your  tires,  when  they’re  cold\
. 
“Cold” means  your  vehicle  has  been  sitting for at least  three  hours  or 
driven 
no more  than a  mile.

k€ you’ll be driving at speeds  higher  than 100 mph (160 km/h) where  it  is 
legal, raise the ‘‘mldYy inflation  pressure of each  tire to 35 psi (240 Wa). 
When  you end this very high speed  driving,  reduce  the “cold”  inflation 
pressures  to those  listed  on  the Tire-Loading  Information  label.

Don't let anyone tell you  that  underinflation or overinflation is 
all right. It's not. If your  tires don't  have  enough air 
(underinflation)  you can get: 
Too much  flexing., 
Too much  heat 
Tire  overloading 
0 Badwear 
Bad handling 
0 Bad  fuel  economy. 
If your tires have  too  much air (overinflation),  you can ger: 
Unusual  wear 
Bad handling 
Rough  ride 
0 Needless  damage  from  road hazards. 
How  to Check 
Use  a  good  quality  pocket-type  gage  to check  tire 
pressure.  Simply  looking  at the  tires  will  not  tell 
you the pressure, 
especially 
if you  have  radial  tires -- which  may look properly'  inflated  even 
if they're  underinflated. 
If your  tires  have  valve  caps,  be  sure to put  them  back  on.  They  help 
prevent  leaks  by keeping  out  dirt  and  moisture. 
When to Check Check your tires  once  a  month  or more.

Tire  Inspection  and  Rotation 
To make  your  tires last  longer,  have  them  inspected  and rotated at  the 
mileages  recommended  in  the Maintenance  Schedule. 
I 
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
