Storing a Flat or Spare Tire
and Tools
{ CAUTION:
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.
The compact spare tire storage area is designed only
for the compact spare tire, the standard tire cannot
be stored there.
To store the flat tire, do the following:
1. Remove the center wheel cap before storing the flat
tire, if your vehicle has aluminum wheels.
2. Place the flat tire on the rear cargo area floor panel
with the outer side of the wheel facing up.
3. Use the tire tie-down straps located under the floor
panel to secure the flat tire.
4. Hook the straps (end closest to the buckle) to the
rear, upper tie-down hooks.
