Storing the Flat 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.
After you’ve put the compact spare tire on your vehicle,
you’ll need to store the flat tire in your trunk. Use the
following procedure to secure the flat tire in the trunk.
When storing a full - size tire, you must use the extension
to help avoid wheel surface damage. Use the extension
and protector/guide located in the foam holder. To store
a full
- size tire, place the tire in the trunk with the valve
stem facing down and the protector/guide through a
wheel bolt hole. Remove the protector and attach the
retainer securely. When returning the compact spare to
the trunk, put the protector/guide back in the foam
holder. Store the cover as far forward as possible.
