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.

The standard tire cannot be stored in the compact spare tire storage area.

To store the standard flat tire:

1. Remove the center wheel cap before storing the flat tire, if your vehicle has aluminum wheels.
2. Place the flat tire on the rear cargo area floor panel with the outer side of the wheel facing up.
3. Use the tire tie-down straps located under the floor panel to secure the flat tire.



4. Hook the straps, the end closest to the buckle, to the rear, upper tie-down hooks.



5. Pass the straps through the center hole of the wheel.
6. Attach the other end of the straps to the rear, lower tie-down hooks.



7. Position the tire edge against the rear center end of the floor panel. Pull the end of the straps to make sure the tire is secure.

Store the compact spare tire properly after use.
