Storing A Flat Or Spare Tire And Tools - Chevrolet Impala 2007 Impala Owner's Manual

Storing a Flat or Spare 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 the compact spare tire has been installed on
the vehicle, store the flat tire in the trunk.
When storing a full-size tire, use the extension
with the protector, located in the foam holder,
to help avoid wheel surface damage.
To store a full-size tire, do the following:
1. Install the tools in their original location in
the trunk area and secure.
2. Place the tire valve stem facing down and
the protector/guide placed through a wheel
bolt hole.
3. Remove the protector and attach the retainer
securely
4. Store the cover as far forward as possible.
When storing a compact spare tire in the trunk,
put the protector back in the foam holder.
