Storing a Flat or Spare Tire and
Tools
{ CAUTION:
Storing a jack, a tire, or other equipment in the
passenger compartment of the vehicle could
cause injury. In a sudden stop or collision,
loose equipment could strike someone.
Store all these in the proper place.
To store the flat tire and jack in the compact spare tire
compartment:
1. Open the trunk. See Trunk on page 2-12 for more
information.
2. Remove the bolt extension (in the yellow sleeve)
from the jack and remove the center cap from the
wheel.
3. Place the jack over the bolt (A) on the floor, making
sure it contacts the bolt as shown, and thread the
jack retainer nut until it contacts the jack.
4. With the valve stem up, place the tire on the
compartment floor with the rear of the tire beneath
the trim panel (tire may not lay completely flat).
5. Line up the center hole of the wheel with the bolt.
6. With the yellow cap in place to prevent the
wheel from being scratched, screw the bolt
extension onto the bolt through the wheel nut hole.
7. Remove the yellow cap from the bolt extension.
8. Secure the tire and wheel with the larger wing nut.
