Stowing a flat tire
Important
Do not attempt to unscrew the lower part of the retaining bolt if it is attached to the body, as this could cause it to break.
If the retaining bolt becomes dislodged from its lower attachment point in the body under the spare tire, replace it in the hole and turn clockwise to secure it again.
