Vehicle Care

When reinstalling the wheel cover or
center cap on the full-size tire,
tighten all five plastic caps hand
snug with the aid of the wheel
wrench and tighten them with
the wheel wrench an additional
one‐quarter of a turn.

Notice: Wheel covers will not fit
on your vehicle's compact spare.
If you try to put a wheel cover on
the compact spare, the cover or
the spare could be damaged.

Storing a Flat or Spare Tire
and Tools

{

WARNING

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:

1. If the flat tire is larger than the

spare tire, use the longer
mounting bolt from the tool bag.

2. Slide the shorter bolt to remove

it from the floor and insert the
longer one.

3. Replace the jack and tools in

their original storage location.

4. Place the tire, lying flat, facing

up in the spare tire well.

5. Turn the retainer nut clockwise

to secure the tire.

6. Place the floor cover on the

wheel.
