To remove spare tire:
Remove the cover from the spare tire. Turn the tire
hold-down wing bolt counterclockwise.
Store the jack and tire in the reverse order of removal.
To prevent the jack, jack handle, and tool bag from
“rattling’’ while the vehicle is in motion, store them
properly.
Important — Use of Compact Spare Tire
Your vehicle is equipped with a compact spare tire.
This compact spare tire takes up less space than a
regular-size tire. This tire is smaller than a
conventional tire and is designed for temporary use
only.
CAUTION
• You should drive carefully when the compact
spare is in use. The compact spare should be
replaced by the proper conventional tire and
rim at the first opportunity.
• The operation of this vehicle is not
recommended with more than one compact
spare tire in use at the same time.
CAUTION
This spare tire should be used only for VERY
short distances. Compact spares should NEVER
be used for long drives or extended distances.
