Storing the Flat Tire and Tools
1
A
CAUTION:
k
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.
Put the bolt through one of the wheel nut holes, install
the retainer over the bolt, then install the wing nut. Put
the spacer and nut next to the tire in the well. Store the
cover as far forward as possible.
The compact spare
is
for temporary use only. Replace
the compact spare tire with a full-size tire as soon as you
can. See “Compact Spare Tire” in the Index. See the
storage instructions label to replace
your
compact spare
into your trunk properly.
