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). 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 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.
1 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.
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.
NOTICE:
Tire chains won’t fit your compact spare. Using them will
damage your vehicle and destroy the chains too. Don’t use tire
chains on your compact spare.

SNOW
What you don’t want to do when your vehicle is stuck is to spin your
wheels too fast. The method known as “rocking” can help you get out
when you’re stuck, but you must use caution.
NOTICE:
Spinning your wheels can destroy parts of your vehicle as well
as the tires. If you spin the wheels too fast while shifting your
transaxle back
and forth, you can destroy your transaxle.
For information about using tire chains on your vehicle, see “Tire Chains”
in the Index.
Rocking your vehicle to get it out:
First, turn your steering wheel left and right. That will clear the area
around your front wheels. Then shift back and forth between
REVERSE (R) and a forward gear, spinning the wheels as little as
possible. Release the accelerator pedal while you shift, and press lightly
on the accelerator pedal when the transaxle is in gear. If that doesn’t get
you out after
a few tries, you may need to be towed out. If you do need to
be towed out, see “Towing Your Vehicle” in the Index.
