Your vehicle, when new, had a fully in¯ated spare tire.
A spare tire may lose air over time, so check its
in¯ation pressure regularly. See
In¯ation Ð Tire
Pressure on page 5-67andLoading Your Vehicle on
page 4-48for information regarding proper tire in¯ation
and loading your vehicle. For instruction on how to
remove, install or store a spare tire, see
Changing a Flat
Tire on page 5-76.
After installing the spare tire on your vehicle, you should
stop as soon as possible and make sure the spare is
correctly in¯ated. Have the damaged or ¯at road
tire repaired or replaced as soon as you can and
installed back onto your vehicle. This way, a spare tire
will be available in case you need it again.
If your vehicle has a spare tire that does not match your
vehicle's original road tires and wheels in size and
type, do not include the spare in the tire rotation.
