Stowing the flat/spare tire and jack

1. Fully collapse the jack, fold the wrench socket into the handle and
place them both into the bag making sure to secure the tabs.

2. Place the jack assembly in the spare tire well aligning it with the two
vertical studs.

3. Place the tire in the spare tire well over the jack assembly.

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 for the 22 inch tire and wheel
assembly. Place the 22 inch tire & 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 supports around the 22 inch tire and wheel assembly and
then replace the load floor.

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.

If you are stowing the spare tire, place the spare in the spare tire
well in its original position.

4. Secure the wheel by replacing the washer and the wing nut and
turning the wing nut clockwise.
