and Tools

A
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.
Put the flat tire in the trunk
so
the side that faces out
when
it
is on the vehicle is facing down.
The
full-size
tire will not fit down into
the
well. Place
it
so
the front
is in the well and the rear
is
out
of
the well.
Secure the tire with
the
retainer that was used to hold
the
compact spare in place. Store the cover as far
forward as possible.
