Ford Fusion: Changing a Road Wheel / Stowing the Flat Tire Without the Retainer Strap

You can temporarily stow the full-size road
wheel in the spare tire compartment.
- Lift the carpeted wheel cover at an
angle to access the spare tire
compartment.
- Place the wheel in the spare tire well
with the valve stem facing down.
- Install the shorter jack retainer bolt to
the jack bolt-down bracket through the
center of the wheel. Finally, wind the
wheel retainer down to secure the
wheel in place.
- Place the jack and tools back into the
spare tire compartment.
- Replace the carpeted wheel cover.
WARNING: When one of the front
wheels is off the ground, the
transmission alone will not prevent the
vehicle from moving or slipping off the
jack, even if the transmission is in park
