IICE: I
Wheel covers won’t fit on your compact
spare. If you try to put a wheel cover
on your compact spare, you could
damage the cover or the spare.
16. Store the flat tire in the compact
spare tire compartment, and secure
with the wing bolt and extension.
Store the jack and wheel wrench in
their compartment, also.
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 1cPa). After installing the
compact spare on your vehicle, you
should stop as soon as possible and
make sure your spare tire is correctly
inflated. The compact spare is made
to
perform well at posted speed limits for
distances up to
3,000 miles (5 000 lcm),
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.
NOTICE:
Don’t take your compact spare
through an automatic car wash
with guide rails. The compact spare
can get caught on the rails. That
can damage the tire and wheel, and
maybe other parts
of your vehicle.

they'll keep going.
