Compact Spare Tire Replacement

Compact Spare Tire Replacement






Caution: To avoid serious personal injury, do not stand over tire when inflating. The bead may break when the bead snaps over the safety hump. Do not exceed 275 kPa (40 psi) pressure when inflating any tire if beads are not seated. If 275 kPa (40 psi) pressure will not seat the beads, deflate, relubricate the beads and reinflate. Overinflation may cause the bead to break and cause serious personal injury.

Notice: The compact spare wheel should not be used with standard tires, snow tires, wheel covers or trim rings. If such use is attempted, damage to these items or other parts of the vehicle may occur. The compact spare should be used only on vehicles that offer it as original equipment.

Notice: Do not take the vehicle through an automatic car wash with the compact spare installed. The vehicle may get caught, which could result in property damage.

Important: Use of the compact spare may result in activating a wheel sensor fault code.

Measure the compact spare inflation pressure periodically and maintain the inflation pressure at 420 kPa (60 psi). You can mount or dismount the tire from the wheel using present tire-changing equipment procedures.
