Although a compact spare tire was fully inflated when your vehicle was new, it can lose air after time. Check the inflation pressure regularly. It should be 420 kPa (60 psi). 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 105 km/h (65 mph) for distances up to 5,000 km (3,000 miles), 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. Notice: When the compact spare is installed, don't take your vehicle through an automatic car wash with guide rails. That can damage the tire and wheel, and maybe other parts of your vehicle. Don't use your compact spare on other vehicles. And don't mix your compact spare tire with other wheels or tires. They won't fit. Keep your spare tire and it's wheel together. Notice: Tire chains won't fit your compact spare. Using them can damage your vehicle and can damage the chains too. Don't use tire chains on your compact spare. |
