BAG & TOOLS Unless you have the plastic "bolt-on" wheel covers, be sure to also store the nylon nut caps and the center cap. When you replace the compact spare with a full-size tire, replace the bolt-on wheel covers or the nylon nut caps and the center cap. Tighten them "hand tight" over the wheel nuts, using the folding wrench. Compact Spare Tire NOTE: INSTALL- BOTTOM OF BAG FIRST Although the compact spare tirewas 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 spareon 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. TOOL STORAGE Replace all jacking tools as they were stored in the jack storage compartment and replace the compartment cover. To replace the cover, line up the tabs on the right of the cover with the slots in the cover opening. Push the cover in place andpush down the tab so that it rests in the groove. Thissecures the cover in place. 5-32
