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. SeeInflation - Tire Pressure on
page 6-61andLoading the Vehicle on page 5-32for
information regarding proper tire in ation and loading
your vehicle. For instruction on how to remove, install
or store a spare tire, seeRemoving the Flat Tire and
Installing the Spare Tire on page 6-82andStoring a
Flat or Spare Tire and Tools on page 6-89.
After installing the spare tire on your vehicle, you should
stop as soon as possible and make sure the spare is
correctly in ated. The spare tire is made to perform well
at speeds up to 70 mph (112 km/h) at the recommended
in ation pressure, so you can nish your trip.
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. Do not mix tires and wheels of different sizes,
because they will not t. Keep your spare tire and its
wheel together.
