To store a flat or spare tire and tools, do the following:
- Remove the stow bolt extension rod and sleeve from the jack.
 
- Re-attach the wheel wrench to the jack.
 
- Place the flat tire face down into the spare tire hub. Avoid scraping
the aluminum wheel, if equipped, on the hold-down bolt.
 
- Screw the stow bolt extension rod and the sleeve into the existing spare
tire hold-down bolt.
 
- Place the jack into the center of the flat tire, being careful not to
scratch the inside of the wheel.
 
- Place the smaller jack hold-down nut in a safe place for use when you
put the compact spare tire back into the trunk.
 
- Remove the plastic sleeve from the stow bolt extension rod. Secure the
jack and road wheel using the larger plastic retainer.
 
The compact spare tire is for temporary use only. Replace the compact spare
with a full-size tire as soon as possible.
