Before driving off, stow your tools safely and inspect your work.
- Examine the spare tire and test the tightness of the lug nuts.
- Remove and return any chocks that you used.
- Stow the equipment:
- Stow the jack in its correct location. In some vehicles, the jack
holds the spare tire in place. Depending on your vehicle design, you might
need to stow the tire first.
- Stow the flat tire in a safe location. If possible, put the flat tire
in the spare tire's well. In some small vehicles, a regular wheel will not fit
in the spare tire's well. In this case, try to secure the flat tire with bungee
cords or rope.
- Stow any tools that you used. Stow safety gear last.
