To store the tools, follow these steps:

the top-box storage unit.

with the wing nut by reversing Step 2 under
Removing the Spare Tire and Tools on page 5-79.
3. Replace the jack cover and tighten the jack-cover
wingnuts.

Spare Tire

Your vehicle, when new, had a fully inflated spare tire.
A spare tire may lose air over time, so check its
inflation pressure regularly. See Inflation - Tire Pressure
on page 5-67 and Loading Your Vehicle on page 4-46
for information regarding proper tire inflation and loading
your vehicle. For instruction on how to remove, install
or store a spare tire, see Removing the Flat Tire
and Installing the Spare Tire on page 5-82 and Storing
a Flat or Spare Tire and Tools on page 5-92.
After installing the spare tire on your vehicle, you should
stop as soon as possible and make sure the spare is
correctly inflated. Have the damaged or flat road
tire repaired or replaced as soon as you can and
installed back onto your vehicle. This way, a spare tire
will be available in case you need it again.
Your vehicle may have a different size spare tire than
the road tires-those originally installed on your vehicle.
This spare tire was developed for use on your
vehicle, so it is all right to drive on it. If your vehicle has
four-wheel drive and the smaller spare is installed,
keep the vehicle in two-wheel drive as much as possible.
If your vehicle has a spare tire that does not match
your vehicle's original road tires and wheels in size and
type, do not include the spare in the tire rotation.

Appearance Care

Cleaning products can be hazardous. Some are toxic.
Other cleaning products can burst into flames if a match
is struck near them or if they get on a hot part of the
vehicle. Some are dangerous if their fumes are inhaled
in an enclosed space. When anything from a container
is used to clean the vehicle, be sure to follow the
manufacturer's warnings and instructions. Always open
the doors or windows of the vehicle when cleaning
the inside.
