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.
Notice: Storing an aluminum wheel with a flat tire under
your vehicle for an extended period of time or with the valve stem pointing up can
damage the wheel. Always stow the wheel with the valve stem pointing down and have
the wheel/tire repaired as soon as possible.
Store the tire under the rear of the vehicle in the spare tire carrier. Refer
to the following graphics and instructions to help you:

- Put the tire (H) on the ground at the rear of the vehicle with
the valve stem pointed down, and to the rear.
- Tilt
the tire toward the vehicle. Separate the tire/wheel retainer (G) from the
guide pin. Pull the pin through the center of the wheel. Tilt the retainer down through
the center wheel opening.
Make sure the retainer is fully seated across
the underside of the wheel.
- Assemble the two jack handle extensions (D)
and wheel wrench (E) as shown.
Insert the open end of the extension (J) through the hole in the rear
bumper (I) (hoist shaft access hole).
- Raise the tire part way upward. Make sure the retainer is seated in the
wheel opening.
- Raise the tire fully against the underside of the vehicle by turning the
wheel wrench clockwise until you hear two clicks or feel it skip twice. You cannot
overtighten the cable.
- Make sure the tire is stored securely. Push,
pull (A), and then try to turn (B) the tire. If the tire moves, use
the wheel wrench to tighten the cable.
