Should there be anything next to the battery?

[EnlightenedOne]

Just picked up my car and am in the process of checking out all the unique things. First thing was realizing that instead of a spare tire I have a battery

When I flip up the cover in the trunk all that is in there is the battery on the right side. There is a compartment on the left side with some screw mounting holes in it but nothing is there. There is also a tool of some sort in a bag with the battery. Am I missing anything?

nope. it does look like something should be there, but nothing should.

Okay cool.. I looked at the little tool bag and it looks like it just has a screwdriver and a tow hook in it. I guess there is no other type of toolkit with the car? Not even a tire wrench? Guess with run flats they figure the only tools you need are the ones at the tire place you drive the car too!

yeah, it's prety lame. When I first got mine I actually google imaged pictures of the trunk to see what should be there haha.

There are some things you can get to put there like a toolkit and a portable air pump and tire slime/leak stop stuff. a bunch of folks around here suggest that kinda stuff.

I just keep a toolkit in there.

Not going to help much without a spare.

Although, they are good to throw if you have a flat in the middle of nowhere...

I was reading the manual and it mentioned a "vehicle toolkit". Is that somewhere else? Specifically it was talking about an allen wrench for manually opening or closing the moonroof but I don't see that in the little kit in the trunk with just a screw driver and tow hook.
