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.

To store a flat or spare tire, do the following:

1. Put the flat or spare tire in the compact spare tire compartment, then secure the retainer.
2. Store the jack in its housing in the cargo area. Secure the jack by turning the retainer clockwise.
3. Store the tools securely in the foam tray and place the tray on top of the tire.
4. Replace the trim cover.

The compact spare tire is for temporary use only. Replace the compact spare tire with a full-size tire as soon as you can. See Compact Spare Tire .
