3. After the tire is lowered completely
to the ground, remove the holding
bracket.
When storing the spare tire, put it in
place with the outer side of the wheel
facing up. Then secure the tire, taking
care that the tire goes straight up
without catching on any other part, to
prevent it from flying forward during
a collision or sudden braking.
As the tire carrier is designed for the
compact spare tire, the standard tire
cannot be stored there.
CAUTION
Do not remove the spare tire
when jacking up the vehicle. The
tire carrier and the spare tire may
interfere with the jack and cause
a serious accident.
NOTICE
z To secure spare tire clamp
bolt:
Do not use impact wrench,
but wheel nut wrench.
z After taking out or stowing
the spare tire, make sure to
secure the tire carrier
tightening the clamp bolt to
prevent the holding bracket
from hitting the under body
of the vehicle during driving.
z Do not store the flat spare
tire with the tire carrier so it
may not be held securely.
