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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The  tire has  a  bump,  bulge  or split. 
The  tire  has a puncture, cut,  or  other damage that can’t  be repaired 
well  because 
of the size  or location of the  damage. 
Buying  New  Tires 
To find  out what  kind  and size of tires you need,  look at  the  Tire-Loading 
Information  label. 
The  tires  installed  on your  vehicle  when  it  was  new  had  a  Tire 
Performance  Criteria Specification  (TPC Spec)  number  on each  tire’s 
sidewall.  When  you  get new  tires, get ones  with that same 
TPC Spec 
number.  That way, your  vehicle 
will continue  to have  tires that  are 
designed  to give  proper endurance,  handling, speed rating,  traction, ride 
and  other  things  during normal  service 
on your  vehicle. If your tireshave 
an  all-season  tread design,  the  TPC  number will be followed  by a 
“MS” 
(for  mud  and snow). 
If you  ever  replace  your  tires with  those not  having  a TPC Spec number, 
make  sure they  are  the  same size, load range, speed rating and 
construction  type  (bias,  bias-belted  or radial)  as  your  original  tires. 
Uniform  Tire  Quality  Grading 
The following  information relates  to the  system  developed by the  United 
States National  Highway  Traffic  Safety  Administration which grades tires

NOTICE: 
Use tire  chains  only  where  legal  and only  when  you  must.  Use 
only 
SAE Class “S” type  chains  that  are  the proper  size for your 
tires.  Install  them  on  the  front  tires  and  tighten them as tightly 
as possible  with  the ends  securely  fastened.  Drive  slowly and 
follow  the chain manufacturer’s instructions. 
If you  can hear 
the  chains  contacting your  vehicle, stop  and  retighten  them. 
If 
the contact  continues,  slow  down until it stops. Driving  too  fast 
with  chains  on will  damage  your  vehicle.
