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.

- -c
- --
c-
Check your tires once a month or more.
Don’t forget your compact spare. It should be at
60 psi (420 kPa).
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.
Tire Inspection and Rotation
Tires should be inspected every 6,000 to 8,000 miles (10 030 to 13 000 km)
for any signs
of unusual wear. If unusual wear is present, rotate your tires
as
soon as possible and check wheel alignment. Also check for damaged
tires or wheels. See “When it’s Time for New Tires” and “Wheel
Replacement’’ later in this section
for more information.
The purpose of regular rotation is to achieve more uniform wear for all tires
on the vehicle. The first rotation is the most important. See “Scheduled
Maintenance Services” in the Index for scheduled rotation intervals.
When rotating your
tires, always use the
correct rotation pattern
shown here.
Don’t include the compact spare tire in your tire rotation.
After the tires have been rotated, adjust the front and rear inflation
pressures as shown
on the Tire-Loading Information label. Make certain that
all wheel nuts are properly tightened. See “Wheel
Nut Torque” in the Index.

You’ll find this label on the spare tire cover. It’s very helpful if you ever
need to order parts. On this label is:
0 your VIN,
the model designation,
paint information, and
0 a list of all production options and special equipment.
Be sure that this label
is not removed from the vehicle.
ADD-ON ELECTMCAL EQUIPMENT
NOTICE:
Don’t add anything electrical to your Cadillac unless you check
with your dealer first. Some electrical equipment can damage
your vehicle and the damage wouldn’t be covered by your
warranty. Some add-on electrical equipment can keep other
components from working as they should.
Your vehicle has an air bag system. Before attempting to add anything
electrical to your Cadillac, see “Servicing You Air Bag-Equipped
Cadillac” in the Index.
