Compact Spare Tire (If Equippe.d)
Although the compact spare-tire was fully inflated when
your vehicle w.as 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 'm.ake-. sure your
spare tire
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.
I NOTICE: I
When the compact 'spare: is installed, don't ta.ke
your vehicle 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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Tire Inspection and Rotation
Tires should be rotated every 6,000 to 8,000 miles
(10 QOO. to 13 0.00 km). Any time you notice unusual
wear, 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 mast important. See “Scheduled
Maintenance Services”
in the Index for scheduled
rotation intervals.
If your vehicle has a compact spare tire, don’t include it
in your tire rotation.
After the tires have bea rotated, adjust the front
and rear
inflation. pressures
as shown on the Certificatioflire
label. Make certain that all wheel nuts
are. properly
tightened. See “Wheel Nut Torque” in the Index.
