Problems on the Road
When you reinstall the full-size
wheel and tire, you must also
reinstall the center cap, if
equipped. Place the cap on the
wheel and tap it into place until it
sits flush with the wheel. The cap
can only go on one way. Be sure to
line up the tab on the center cap
with the indentation on the wheel.
Restow tire and jacking equipment
in reverse order as removal. Be
sure the tire valve is pointed down
and to the rear.
See "Storing Tire and Jacking
Equipment" later in this section for
more information.

CAUTION
Storing a jack, a tire or other

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.
