when
your

new,
it can lose air

pressure
regul

be
60

you
should stop as
soonas possible
and
make
sure
your
spare
tire
is correctly
inflated. The compact

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

want.
Of course,
it’s
best
to
replace
your
spare
with
a

as
you
can.
Your
spare

last longer
and be in good
shape in case
you
need
it again.
NOTICE:
8
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.
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

your
compact
spare.
Using
them
can
damage
your
vehicle
and can
damage
the

too.
Don’t
use
tire chains
on
your
compact
spare.
