your vehicle w.as new, it can lose air after a time. Check
the. inflation pressure regularly. It should be 60 psi

is cor-rec.tly inflated. The compact spare is
made to perform well at speeds up to 65 :mph
(I 05 krn/h) for distances up to 3,000 miles (5.000 km),
so you can finish your trip and have your full-size tire
repaired or replaceid where.you
want. Of course, it's best
to replace y0.w 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 vehicle through
an automatic car wash with
guide rails, The compact spare can get caught on
