Spare Tire<br />

6. Make sure the tire is stored securely. Push, pull (A),<br />

and then try to turn (B) the tire. If the tire moves,<br />

use the wheel wrench to tighten the cable.<br />

You will hear two clicks when the tire is up all<br />

the way.<br />

7. Return the jacking equipment to the proper location.<br />

Secure the items and replace the jack cover.<br />

This vehicle, when new, may have had a fully-inflated<br />

spare tire. A spare tire may lose air over time, so check its<br />

inflation pressure regularly. See Inflation - Tire Pressure<br />

on page 5-62 and Loading the Vehicle on page 4-19 for<br />

information regarding proper tire inflation and loading the<br />

vehicle. For instruction on how to remove, install or store<br />

a spare tire, see Removing the Flat Tire and Installing the<br />

Spare Tire on page 5-84 and Storing a Flat or Spare Tire<br />

and Tools on page 5-95.<br />

After installing the spare tire on the vehicle, you should<br />

stop as soon as possible and make sure the spare is<br />

correctly inflated. The spare tire is made to perform well<br />

at speeds up to 70 mph (112 km/h) at the recommended<br />

inflation pressure, so you can finish your trip.<br />

Have the damaged or flat road tire repaired or replaced<br />

as soon as you can and installed back onto the vehicle.<br />

This way, a spare tire will be available in case you need<br />

it again. Do not mix tires and wheels of different sizes,<br />

because they will not fit. Keep the spare tire and its wheel<br />

together.<br />
