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 ¯at tire in the trunk. Use the
following procedure to secure the ¯at 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 valve stem facing
down, with the protector/guide placed through a wheel
bolt hole. Remove the protector and attach the retainer
securely. When putting the compact spare back in the
trunk, place the protector/guide back in the foam holder.
Store the cover as far forward as possible.
