Trunk and spare tire kit

Hey everyone! This may be the weirdest request on here-does anyone have a photo of the spare tire kit and tools in the foam template? I use the jack for the first time to lift the car for first oil change, and cant seem to get the jack from the car to fit back in the foam correctly. Direction, position, everything-I cant get it back in the foam.

By the way, I only used the jack to lift, I used jack stands and wheel blocks-SAFETY FIRST.

I actually had a hard time figuring out how the jack went back in the first time I used it too. I know where you're coming from!

On a somewhat related note... I've only had my 2011 sportwagon about a month. Noticed that I don't seem to have the special socket needed for the locking lugnut on the wheels. I think I've checked everywhere, but still might have missed it. Is there some 'special' place this is usually kept that I am missing?

mine was in a small fabric bag with a picture of the lock (see below, not mine,but same thing) that was looped around the wrench. did you check your glovebox too?

You can check under the spare.

Since you just got the car, I would go back to the dealer and inquire. The same thing happened to me, the dealer just swapped them out and gave me another set with a key. If they want to be jerks, I think the oem set is ~$25.
