3. Remove the J-hook and the wing nut from the back of the jack access door. Assemble the wing nut and the J-hook. 4. Install the wing nut and the J-hook to the D-ring through the center hole of the tire. 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. 5. Tighten the wing nut to secure the tire to the seatback. Push and pull on the tire to make sure the tire is secure and does not move. 6. Put back all tools as they were stored in the jack storage compartment and put the compartment cover back on. Slip the tabs on the side of the compartment cover into the cover opening. Push the ewer in place and push down thetabs on the cover so that it rests in the groove. This secures the cover in place. 5-85
