Storing the Flat Tire and Tools

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.

After you’ve put the compact spare tire on your vehicle,
you’ll need to store the flat tire in your trunk.

Remove the foam support so that the flat tire will fit in
the storage area. Place the flat tire with the appearance
side face down and store the jack container in the center
of the tire. See the diagram in “Storing the Spare Tire
and Tools” following for more information.
