i
Compact Spare Tire
Although the compact spare was 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
Wa). The compact spare is
made to go up to
3,000
miles
(5
O00
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.
Your anti-lock brake system warning
light may come on when you are driving
with a compact spare. See the
Idex
under
Anti-Lock Brake System Warning
Light.
