Storing the Flat 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 you've put the compact spare tire on your vehicle,
you'll need to store the flat tire in your trunk. Use the
following procedure to secure the flat tire in the trunk.
-
When storing a full size tire, you must use the extension
to help avoid wheel surface damage. Use the extension
and protector/guide located in the foam holder. To store
-
a full size tire, place the tire in the trunk valve stem
facing down, with the protector/guide through a wheel
bolt hole. Remove the protector and attach the retainer
securely. When reinstalling the compact spare, put the
protector/guide back in the foam holder. Store the cover
as far forward as possible.
