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 a flat or spare tire and
tools:

1. Return the jack and tools as they

were originally stored in the
trunk.

2. Return the spare tire cover as it

was in the trunk.

3. Install the retainer nut and turn it

clockwise until tight.

4. Return the rear trunk carpet.

5. Place the flat tire face up on the

load floor.

6. Route the strap provided, as

shown, to secure the flat tire.

The compact spare tire is for
temporary use only. Replace the
compact spare with a full-size tire
as soon as possible.

Compact Spare Tire

WARNING

Driving with more than one
compact spare tire at a time
could result in loss of braking and
handling. This could lead to a
crash and you or others could be
injured. Use only one compact
spare tire at a time.

If this vehicle has a compact spare
tire, it was fully inflated when the
vehicle was new; however, it can
lose air after a time. Check the
inflation pressure regularly.
It should be 420 kPa (60 psi).

After installing the compact spare
on the vehicle, stop as soon
as possible and make sure the
spare tire is correctly inflated.
The compact spare is made to
perform well at speeds up to
105 km/h (65 mph) for distances
up to 5 000 km (3,000 miles),
so you can finish your trip and
