Vehicle Care

When you reinstall the regular
wheel and tire, you must also
reinstall the center cap. Place the
cap on the wheel and tap it into
place until it seats flush with the
wheel. The cap only goes on
one way. Be sure to line up the
tab on the center cap with the
indentation on the wheel.

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.

Notice: Storing an aluminum
wheel with a flat tire under your
vehicle for an extended period
of time or with the valve stem
pointing up can damage the

wheel. Always stow the wheel
with the valve stem pointing
down and have the wheel/tire
repaired as soon as possible.

Store the tire under the rear of the
vehicle in the spare tire carrier.

1. Put the tire on the ground at the

rear of the vehicle with the valve
stem pointed down.

2. Tilt the retainer downward

and through the center wheel
opening. Make sure the retainer
is fully seated across the
underside of the wheel.

3. Assemble the wheel wrench, the

jack handle extensions, and the
jack handle as shown.
