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 65 mph 
(105 km/h) for distances up to 3,000 miles (5 000 km),
so you can finish 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.

NOTICE:

When the compact spare is installed, don’t 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.
