Compact Spare Tire Although the compact spare tire was fully inflatedwhen your vehicle was new, it can lose air after a time. Check the inflation pressure regularly. It should be 60 psi (420 Wa). After installing thecompact spare on your vehicle, you should stop as soon as possibleand make sure your spare tire is correctly inflated. The compact spare is made to perform well at speeds up to65 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 tireas 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 installed, don't take is 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, of and maybe other parts your vehicle. Don't use your compact spare on other vehicles. And don't mix your compact spare tire or wheel with other wheels or tires. They won't fit. Keep your spare tire and its wheel together. NOTICE: Tire chains won't fit your compact spare. Using them can damage your vehicle and can damage the chains too. Don't use tire chains on your compact spare. 5-37
