5. Reverse Steps 1 through 4 under Removing the Spare Tire and Tools on page 5-73 to replace the floor cargo organizer and lock in place. 6. Place the flat, or damaged tire, face down, on the load floor with the threaded wheel stow rod sticking up through the center hole of the load floor and center hole of the wheel. Vehicles equipped with the 3.5L V6 (L66) engine and aluminum wheels, must remove the center cap from the wheel prior to placing it on the load floor. To remove the center cap, tap the cap from the backside of the wheel, then place the wheel on the load floor. 7. Place the wheel retainer bolt onto the wheel stow rod and tighten. The compact spare is for temporary use only. Replace the compact spare tire with a full-size tire as soon as you can. Compact Spare Tire Although the compact spare tire was fully inflated when the 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 spare on the vehicle, stop as soon as possible and make sure the 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 the full-size tire repaired or replaced at your convenience. Of course, it is best to replace the spare with a full-size tire as soon as possible. The spare tire will last longer and be in good shape in case it is needed again. Notice: When the compact spare is installed, do not 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. Do not use the compact spare on other vehicles. And do not mix the compact spare tire or wheel with other wheels or tires. They will not fit. Keep the spare tire and its wheel together. Notice: Tire chains will not fit your compact spare. Using them can damage your vehicle and can damage the chains too. Do not use tire chains on your compact spare. 5-84
