Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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 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 O00 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.
When the compact spare is
on the rear axle, the optional
ASR system will cycle and limit acceleration for about
the first 15 seconds of driving after each engine start.
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.
I
I NOTICE:
If the compact spare is used as a rear tire, do not
drive faster than
50 mph (80 km/h). Damage to
the rear axle may occur if the compact spare
is
driven faster than 50 mph. This speed limitation
does not apply when the compact spare is used
as
a front tire.
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.
I 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.

NOTICE:
If your Chevrolet has P235/55R16 or
P245150ZRl6 size tires, don’t use tire chains;
they can damage your vehicle.
If you have other tires, 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 rear 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 or spinning
the wheels with chains on will damage your
vehicle.
