With the jack in place, place the end of the
retention bracket over the threaded stud in the
trunk floor and secure it with the plastic wing
nut.

3. Screw the extension bolt onto the threaded
stud of the jack retention bracket.

4. Place the flat tire in the spare
tire well with the wheel facing up.

5. Safely secure the wheel by
