  1. Place the wheel wrench into the clips on the jack.
  2. Install the jack in the left side panel of the trunk and secure as shown on the jacking instruction label located in the trunk.
  3. Place the flat tire, face down, into the spare tire compartment. When placing an aluminum flat tire into the spare tire compartment, be very careful to avoid scraping the wheel face on the hold-down bolt and other hard surfaces. The hold-down bolt should pass through the rear most wheel vent hold. The flat tire will protrude above the trunk floor in this position.
  4. Place the nut onto the hold-down bolt and tighten down until it is snug.

The compact spare is for temporary use only. Replace the compact spare tire with a full-size tire as soon as you can. See the storage instructions label to replace your compact spare into your trunk or cargo area separately.

Store the flat tire in the compact spare tire compartment and secure the adapter, extension (aluminum wheel only) and wing bolt. Store the jack and wheel wrench in the foam tray.
