Stowing the Flat/Spare Tire and Jack

Note: If you are stowing a flat 22 inch tire and wheel assembly,
temporarily remove the load floor, plastic stowage bins, and the foam
load floor supports to make space. Place the 22 inch tire and wheel
assembly in the spare tire well with the valve stem facing down. Rotate
the tire until the jack assembly is able to protrude through a wheel
opening. Replace the plastic stowage bins and foam load floor supports
around the 22 inch tire and wheel assembly.

Note: If you are stowing a flat tire, place the tire in the spare tire well
with the valve stem facing down. Rotate the tire until the jack assembly
is able to protrude through a wheel opening.
