Spare Tire

Your vehicle, when new, had a fully-inflated spare
tire. A spare tire may lose air over time, so check its
inflation pressure regularly. See Inflation - Tire Pressure
on page 5-65 and Loading Your Vehicle on page 4-34
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 5-85 and
Storing a Flat or Spare Tire and Tools on page 5-94.

After installing the spare tire on your vehicle, you
should stop as soon as possible and make sure the
spare is correctly inflated. The spare tire is made
to perform well at speeds up to 70 mph (112 km/h)
at the recommended inflation pressure, so you can
finish your trip.

Have the damaged or flat road tire repaired or replaced
as soon as you can and installed back onto your
vehicle. This way, a spare tire will be available in
case you need it again. Do not mix tires and
wheels of different sizes, because they will not fit.
Keep your spare tire and its wheel together.

Appearance Care

Interior Cleaning

Your vehicle’s interior will continue to look its best if it
is cleaned often. Although not always visible, dust
and dirt can accumulate on your upholstery. Dirt can
damage carpet, fabric, leather, and plastic surfaces.
Regular vacuuming is recommended to remove
particles from your upholstery. It is important to
keep your upholstery from becoming and remaining
heavily soiled. Soils should be removed as quickly
as possible. Your vehicle’s interior may experience
extremes of heat that could cause stains to set rapidly.

Lighter colored interiors may require more frequent
cleaning. Use care because newspapers and garments
that transfer color to your home furnishings may also
transfer color to your vehicle’s interior.
