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 the flat tire and jack in the compact spare tire compartment:

1. Open the trunk. See Trunk for more information.
2. Remove the bolt extension (in the yellow sleeve) from the jack and remove the center cap from the wheel.



3. Place the jack over the bolt (A) on the floor, making sure it contacts the bolt as shown, and thread the jack retainer nut until it contacts the jack.
4. With the valve stem up, place the tire on the compartment floor with the rear of the tire beneath the trim panel (tire may not lay completely flat).
5. Line up the center hole of the wheel with the bolt.
6. With the yellow cap in place to prevent the wheel from being scratched, screw the bolt extension onto the bolt through the wheel nut hole.
7. Remove the yellow cap from the bolt extension.
8. Secure the tire and wheel with the larger wing nut.
