8. Make sure the tire is stored securely. Push, pull,

and then try to turn the tire. If the tire moves, use
the folding wrench to tighten the cable.

Put back all tools as they were stored in the jack
storage compartment and put the compartment cover
back on.

To put the cover back on, slip the tabs on the bottom of
the cover into the bottom of the cover opening. Push
the cover in place and push down the tab on the top of
the cover so that it rests in the groove. This secures
the cover in place.

When you replace the compact spare with a full-size
tire, reinstall the bolt-on wheel covers or the center cap,
which ever your vehicle has. Tighten them “hand
tight” over the wheel nuts, using the folding wrench.
