18. Lay th l e flat tire nea lr the rear of th
vehicle with the valve stem down.
Slide the cable retainer through the
center of the wheel and raise the flat
tire until you hear the hoist
mechanism click twice. This means
the wheel is firmly stored against
the underside of the vehicle.
When storing the spare tire, be certain
to turn the spare so the valve stem is
near the rear
of
the vehicle. This
will
help you to check and maintain tire
pressure in the spare.
19. Replace all jacking tools as they
were stored in the jack storage
compartment and replace the
compartment cover.
Unless you have the plastic "bolt-on"
wheel covers, be sure to also store the
nylon nut caps. When you replace the
compact spare with a full-size tire,
replace the bolt-on wheel covers or the
nylon nut caps. Tighten them "hand
tight'' over the wheel nuts, using the
folding wrench (see step 7).
f i
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.
Push against the tire to be certain it is
stored firmly.
