Caution

Wheel covers will not fit on the

Storing the Spare Tire

{

Warning

The underbody-mounted spare
tire needs to be stored with the
valve stem pointing down. If the
spare tire is stored with the valve
stem pointing upwards, the
secondary latch will not work
properly and the spare tire could
loosen and suddenly fall from the
vehicle. If this happened when
the vehicle was being driven, the
tire might contact a person or
another vehicle, causing injury
and damage to itself. Be sure the
underbody-mounted spare tire is
stored with the valve stem
pointing down.

{

Warning

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 spare tire:

1. Lay the compact spare tire

near the rear of the vehicle with
the valve stem down.

2. Reinstall the plastic spare tire

heat shield on the compact
spare tire.

3. Slide the cable retainer through

the center of the wheel and
start to raise the compact
spare tire.

Make sure the retainer is fully
seated across the underside of
the wheel.
