Storing a Flat or Spare Tire
and Tools
WARNING
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.
To store the flat or spare tire and
tools:
1. If the flat tire is larger than the
spare tire, use the longer
mounting bolt.
2. Slide the shorter bolt to remove
it from the floor and insert the
longer one.
Vehicle Care
3. Replace the jack and tools in
their original storage location.
4. Place the tire, lying flat, facing
up in the spare tire well.
Secure it with the retainer nut.
Place the floor cover over the
tire even though it may not lay
flat if the tire is larger than the
spare.
The compact spare is for temporary
use only. Replace the compact
spare tire with a full-size tire as
soon as you can.
