Compact Spare Tire
Although the compact spare tire was fully in ated
when your vehicle was new, it can lose air after a
time. Check the in ation 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 in ated. 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
your full-size tire repaired or replaced where you
want. 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.
