Compact Spare Tire
Your vehicle may be equipped with a compact spare
tire. Although the compact spare tire was fully inated
when the vehicle was new, it can lose air after a
time. Check the ination pressure regularly. It should be
60 psi (420 kPa).
After installing the compact spare on the vehicle, stop
as soon as possible and make sure the spare tire
is correctly inated. The compact spare is made to
perform well at speeds up to 65 mph (105 km/h)
for distances up to 3,000 miles (5 000 km), so you can
nish your trip and have the full-size tire repaired or
replaced at your convenience. Of course, it is best
to replace the spare with a full-size tire as soon as
possible. The spare tire will last longer and be in good
shape in case it is needed again.

Footnotes
†The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or the
California Air Resources Board has determined that the
failure to perform this maintenance item will not nullify
the emission warranty or limit recall liability prior to
the completion of the vehicle’s useful life. We, however,
urge that all recommended maintenance services be
performed at the indicated intervals and the
maintenance be recorded.
#Lubricate the front suspension, ball joints, steering
linkage, parking brake cable guides, propshaft splines,
universal joints and brake pedal springs.
+A good time to check your brakes is during tire
rotation. See Brake System Inspection on page 6-31.
**Drive axle service. See Part D: Recommended Fluids
and Lubricants on page 6-32for proper lubricant to use:
Check uid level and add uid as needed. If driving in
dusty areas or when towing a trailer, drain uid and
rell every 15,000 miles (25 000 km).
If your vehicle has a locking differential, drain uid
and rell at rst engine oil change.
More frequent lubrication may be required for
heavy-duty or off-road use.

❑Check rear/front axle uid level and add uid as
needed. Check constant velocity joints and axle seals
for leaking.(See footnote **.)
