ION:
Storing a jack, a tire or other equipment
in
the
passenger compartment of the vehicle could
cause in.jury. In a sudden stop
or collision, loose
equipment could strike someone. Store
all
these
in the proper place.

be stored under the vehicle with the hoist.
However, storing it that way for an extended
period could damage the wheel.
To
avoid this,
have the wheel repaired as soon as possible.
