Stowing the flat/spare tire, jack and tools
Lay down the tire with the outer
side facing up, and install the
holding bracket.
Raise the tire.
Vehicles with kinetic dynamic suspension: Pull the tire toward
the rear of the vehicle when raising. After raising, visually
check that tire is not interfering with components.
Stow the tools and jack securely, and replace the cover.

STEP 1
■After completing the tire change
The tire pressure warning system must be reset. (P. 515)
■When using the spare tire
As the spare tire is not equipped with a tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter, low inflation pressure of the spare tire will not be indicated by
the tire pressure warning system. Also, if you replace the spare tire after
the tire pressure warning light comes on, the light remains on.
