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
Pa).
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.
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.
