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
Ea).
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.
(When
the
compact
spare
is
used
on
the rear axle,
see
Notice
below.)
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.
When
the compact spare
is
on the rear axle, the
optional
ASR
system will
cycle and
limit
acceleration
for
about
the
first
15
seconds
of
driving after
each
engine
start.
I
I
NOTICE:
If
the compact
spare
is
used
as
a
rear tire,
do
not
drive faster
than
50
mph
(80
km/h).
Damage
to
the rear axle
may
occur
if
the compact spare
is
driven faster than
50
mph
(80
W).
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.
