Spare Tire
Compact Spare Tire
Your vehicle may have a compact spare tire. Although
the compact spare tire was fully inflated when your
vehicle was new, it can lose air over time. Check the
inflation pressure regularly. It should be 60 psi (420 kPa).
Notice: If your vehicle has four-wheel drive and
the compact spare tire is installed on your vehicle,
do not drive in four-wheel drive until you can
have your flat tire repaired and/or replaced. You
could damage your vehicle, and the repair costs
would not be covered by your warranty. Never use
four-wheel drive when the compact spare tire is
installed on your vehicle.
After installing the compact spare on your vehicle,
you should stop as soon as possible and make sure
your vehicle’s spare tire is correctly inflated. The
compact spare is made to perform well at speeds up
to 62 mph (100 km/h) for distances up to 500 miles
(804 km). For heavy payloads or towing, and for low
traction or four-wheel-drive conditions, repair or replace
the full-size tire. Of course, it is best to replace your
vehicle’s spare with a full-size tire as soon as you can.
The spare tire will last longer and be in good shape
in case you need it 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 your compact spare on other vehicles.
And do not mix your compact spare tire or wheel with
other wheels or tires. They will not fit. Keep your
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.
Full-Size Spare Tire
Your vehicle may have a full-size spare tire, which,
when new, was fully inflated. A spare tire may lose
air over time, so check its inflation pressure regularly.
See Inflation - Tire Pressure on page 5-62 and
Loading Your Vehicle on page 4-32 for information
regarding proper tire inflation and loading your vehicle.
For instruction on how to remove, install, or store a
spare tire, see Removing the Flat Tire and Installing
the Spare Tire on page 5-84 and Storing a Flat or
Spare Tire and Tools on page 5-94.
