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 compact spare tire and tools, do the following:

  1. Store the flat or compact spare tire in the spare tire compartment.
  2. Place the tire in the compartment, then secure the retainer.
  3. Store the jack in its foam tray in the trunk.
  4. Store the tools securely in the trunk.
  5. 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 .
