Put back all tools as they were stored in the jack storage compartment and put the compartment cover back on. 1. Attach the tool bag to the jack. 2. Make sure that the bottom of the jack is facing toward you. 3. Turn the jack (C) on its side and place it down on the holding bracket. 4. Reinstall the wing bolt (B) by turning it clockwise. 5. To replace the cover, line up the tabs on the bottom of the cover with the slots in the cover opening. Push the cover in place, insuring that the upper front and rear tabs are in the opening and push the cover closed. Make sure that the center latch is fully engaged. This secures the cover in place. Store the center cap or the plastic bolt-on wheel covers until a full size tire is put back on the vehicle. When you replace the compact spare with a full-size tire, reinstall the bolt-on wheel covers or the center cap. Hand-tighten them over the wheel nuts, using the lug wrench. Compact Spare Tire Although the compact spare tire was fully inflated when the vehicle was new, it can lose air after a time. Check the inflation pressure regularly. It should be 60 psi (420 kPa). After installing the compact spare on the vehicle, stop as soon as possible and make sure the spare tire is correctly inflated. The compact spare is made to perform well at speeds up to 65 mph (105 km/h) for distances up to 3,000 miles (5 000 km), so you can finish your trip and have the full-size tire repaired or replaced at your convenience. Of course, it is best to replace the spare with a full-size tire as soon as possible. The spare tire will last longer and be in good shape in case it is needed again. Notice: When the compact spare is installed, do not take your vehicle through an automatic car wash with guide rails. The compact spare can get caught on the rails. That can damage the tire and wheel, and maybe other parts of your vehicle. Do not use the compact spare on other vehicles. And do not mix the compact spare tire or wheel with other wheels or tires. They will not fit. Keep the spare tire and its wheel together. 5-88
