for sedans or the spare tire compartment for
wagons and secure as shown on the jacking

compartment. When placing an aluminum at tire
into the spare tire compartment, be very careful

down until it is snug.
The compact spare is for temporary use only. Replace
the compact spare tire with a full-size tire as soon
