10-68 Vehicle Care on how to remove, install, or store a spare tire, see Tire Changing on page 10-63. 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. The full-size spare includes a TPMS sensor. The TPMS will not monitor or display the spare tire air pressure until the tire/wheel is installed at one of the four tire/wheel positions on the vehicle and matched to the new position. See Tire Pressure Monitor Operation on page 10-43 for information about matching the spare tire to the TPMS. 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. Storing a Flat or Spare Tire and Tools { Warning Storing a jack, a tire, or other equipment in the passenger compartment of the vehicle could cause injury. In a sudden stop or collision, loose equipment could strike someone. Store all these in the proper place. Replace the jack, tools, container and flat tire in the trunk by reversing the steps used to remove them. Full-Size Spare Tire If this vehicle came with a full-size spare tire, it was fully inflated when new, however, it can lose air over time. Check the inflation pressure regularly. See Tire Pressure on page 10-41 and Vehicle Load Limits on page 9-10 for information regarding proper tire inflation and loading the vehicle. For instructions
