In a 2017 Kia Forte, the jack, spare tire, jack handle, and wheel lug nut wrench are all stored in the rear luggage compartment area. To access them, start by opening the trunk and lifting the floor panel to reveal the jack and tire. The jack is securely held in a foam piece on top of the spare tire. Remember to never go under the vehicle using this jack unless you have a jack stand for support. This jack is meant for emergency flat tire situations only. When changing a tire, locate the jacking position tabs specific to the tire you are lifting, as they have additional support welded to the car for lifting safely.
You can locate the jack for your 2017 Kia Forte attached to the spare tire in the trunk of your car.
The 2017 KIA Forte does not come equipped with a spare tire, jack, or wrench. Bear this in consideration when driving.
When I purchased my new 2017 Kia Forte in Vancouver, Canada, there was no spare tire and jack in the trunk. Instead, all I received was a can of sealant and a convenient square pump to inflate the tire with the sealant. If I wanted to include the spare tire, jack, and tire wrench, it would set me back nearly $400. Thanks, Kia, for the unexpected cost and inconvenience.
