surface and enough clearance is obtained to
install the compact spare tire. Minimum tire
lift provides maximum stability.

16. Make sure the contact surfaces between compact spare tire and hub are clean so that
the fastening bolts will not come loose.
17. Fit the compact spare tire by inserting the first wheel bolt for two threads into the hole
closest to the valve.
18. Take the wheel wrench and tighten the wheel bolts.
19. Inflate the compact spare tire by removing the cap from its inflation valve and screwing
on the compressor inflation hose fitting. 20. Make sure that the switch on the compressor
is in the O (off) position, open the liftgate and
insert the plug into the power socket in the
cargo area, or on the center console and
start the engine. Place the on/off switch in

Attaching Compressor To Tire
21. Inflate the compact spare tire to a pressure of 43.5 psi (3 bar).

NOTE:
If spare tire is overinflated, be sure to lower the
psi in the tire to the recommended amount by
using the deflation button on the air compressor.
22. Operate the wheel wrench on the jack to lower the vehicle.
23. Remove the jack. 24. Use the wheel wrench to fully tighten the
bolts, passing alternately from one bolt to the
diagonally opposite one.
To obtain a more accurate reading, it is advisable
to check the pressure of the compact spare tire
on the pressure gauge with the compressor off.

NOTE:
Do not stow the deflated tire in the compact
spare tire location.
The compressor was designed for inflating the
compact spare tire. Do not use it for inflating
mattresses, rafts, etc.

NOTE:
Spare tires are intended for temporary use only.
Have the full-sized tire repaired or replaced, as
soon as possible.

Raising the vehicle higher than necessary can
make the vehicle less stable. It could slip off
the jack and hurt someone near it. Raise the
vehicle only enough to remove the tire.
CAUTION!
Be sure to mount the spare tire with the valve
stem facing outward. The vehicle could be
damaged if the spare tire is mounted
incorrectly.

Tire Terminology And Definitions
Tire Loading And Tire Pressure

NOTE:
The proper cold tire inflation pressure is listed on
the driver’s side B-pillar or the rear edge of the
driver's side door.
Check the inflation pressure of each tire,
including the spare tire (if equipped), at least
monthly and inflate to the recommended
pressure for your vehicle.Example Tire Placard Location (Door)Example Tire Placard Location (B-pillar)
TermDefinition
B-pillarThe vehicle B-pillar is the structural member of the body located behind the front door.
Cold Tire Inflation Pressure Cold tire inflation pressure is defined as the tire pressure after the vehicle has not been
driven for at least three hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) after sitting for a
minimum of three hours. Inflation pressure is measured in units of PSI (pounds per
square inch) or kPa (kilopascals).
Maximum Inflation Pressure The maximum inflation pressure is the maximum permissible cold tire inflation pressure
for this tire. The maximum inflation pressure is molded into the sidewall.
Recommended Cold Tire Inflation Pressure Vehicle manufacturer's recommended cold tire inflation pressure as shown on the
tire placard.
Tire Placard A label permanently attached to the vehicle describing the vehicle’s loading capacity, the
original equipment tire sizes and the recommended cold tire inflation pressures.
