Vehicle Care To continue changing the flat tire, see "Removing the Flat Tire and Installing the Spare Tire" under Tire Changing on page 10-69. After installing the spare tire on the vehicle, stop as soon as possible and check that the spare is correctly inflated. The spare tire is made to perform well at speeds up to 112 km/h (70 mph) at the recommended inflation pressure, so you can finish your trip. Have the damaged or flat road tire repaired or replaced and installed back onto the vehicle as soon as possible so the spare tire will be available in case it is needed again. Do not mix tires and wheels of different sizes, because they will not fit. Keep the spare tire and its wheel together. 10-81 Jump Starting For more information about the vehicle battery, see Battery on page 10-24.
