Compact Spare Tire
Although the compact spare tire 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 speeds up
to 65 mph
(IO5 km/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 replaced where you want. You must
calibrate the Check Tire Pressure System after installing
or removing the compact spare. See
Check Tire
Pressure
System on page 5-62. 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.
Notice: When the compact spare is installed, don't
take your vehicle through an automatic car wash

on the rails. That can damage the tire and wheel,
and maybe other parts of your vehicle.

Don't use your compact spare on other vehicles.
And don't mix your compact spare tire or wheel with
other wheels or tires. They won't fit. Keep your compact
spare tire and its wheel together.
Notice; Tire chains won't fit your compact spare.
Using
them can damage your vehicle and can
damage the chains too. Don't use tire chains on
your compact spare.
