personal injury or property damage,
always store the spare tire when the
vehicle is parked on a level surface.If the vehicle has 275/60R20 or 275/50R22
size tires, the flat tire must be stored inside
of the vehicle using the flat tire secure strap
inside the glove box. See
“Storing a Flat Tire

the tool bag. Use the velcro straps to
secure the tool bag under the load floor
in the cargo area.
2. Position the jack and wheel blocks in the driver side trim panel over the
wheelhouse.
3. Turn the jack knob clockwise until the jack is secured tight in the mounting
bracket. Be sure to position the holes in
the base of the jack onto the pin in the
mounting bracket.
4. Close the trim panel door.
Storing a Flat Tire Inside of the Vehicle
If the vehicle has 275/60R20 or 275/50R22

of the vehicle in the cargo area using the
flat tire secure strap inside the glove box. 1. Store the tools. See “Storing the Tools”
earlier in this section.
2. If the vehicle has a short wheel base, the third row seat must be folded down to
provide sufficient space to store the flat
tire. If the third row seat cannot be folded down, the flat tire cannot be
stored and must be left in a safe
location, to be picked up at a later time.
3. Once there is sufficient space in the rear of the vehicle, lift the flat tire and place
it on top of the load floor, with the
valve stem pointed up.4. Remove the flat tire secure strap from
the glove box and place the loop end of
the strap through the cargo tie-down.

the loop and pull it until the strap is
fastened securely to the tie-down.
5. Route the hook end of the strap throughthe wheel, as shown.
6. Attach the hook to the other cargo tie-down in the rear of the vehicle.
7. Tighten the strap.
Full-Size Spare Tire

tire, it was fully inflated when new,
however, it can lose air over time. Check the
inflation pressure regularly. See Tire Pressure
0 346 and
Vehicle Load Limits 0222 for information
regarding proper tire inflation and loading
the vehicle. For instructions on how to
remove, install, or store a spare tire, see Tire
