Compact
Spare

Although
the compact spare
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
wellat posted
speed
limits 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.
