To store a flat or compact spare tire and tools,
do the following:
1. Store the flat or compact spare tire in the
spare tire compartment.
2. Place the tire in the compartment, then
secure the retainer.
3. Store the jack in its foam tray in the trunk.
4. Store the tools securely in the trunk.
5. Replace the trim cover.
The compact spare tire is for temporary use only.
Replace the compact spare tire with a full-size tire
as soon as you can. SeeCompact Spare Tire
on page 5-67.
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 50 mph (80 km/h), so you can finish your trip
and have your full-size tire repaired or replaced where
you want. Of course, it is 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,
do not take 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.
Do not use your compact spare on other vehicles.
And do not mix your compact spare tire or wheel
with other wheels or tires. They will not fit. Keep your
spare tire and its wheel together.
Notice:Tire chains will not t your compact spare.
Using them can damage your vehicle and can
damage the chains too. Do not use tire chains
on your compact spare.
