Storing a Flat or Spare Tire and Tools

{

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.

Storing the Flat Tire and Tools

1. Return the jack and tools to their original

storage location.

2. Replace the trim cover.
3. Place the flat tire, lying flat, in the rear

storage compartment.

4. Attach one end of the strap to a cargo

tie-down in the rear of the vehicle.

5. Route the strap through the wheel, as

shown.

6. Attach the other end of the strap to the

Compact Spare Tire

{

Warning

Driving with more than one compact
spare tire at a time could result in loss of
braking and handling. This could lead to a
crash and you or others could be injured.
Use only one compact spare tire at
a time.

If this vehicle has a compact spare tire, it
was fully inflated when new; however, it
can lose air over time. Check the inflation
pressure regularly. It should be 420 kPa
(60 psi).

Stop as soon as possible and check that the
spare tire is correctly inflated after being
installed on the vehicle. The compact spare
tire is designed for temporary use only. The
vehicle will perform differently with the
spare tire installed and it is recommended
that the vehicle speed be limited to 80 km/h
(50 mph). To conserve the tread of the spare
tire, have the standard tire repaired or
replaced as soon as convenient and return
the spare tire to the storage area.
