In case of emergency
Do not put your fingers into the
center hole of the temporary
spare tire while you pulling it out,
because they might be pinched in
between the wheel and the retain-
er.
9. Tilt the retainer at the end of the cable
and pull it through the center of the tempo-
rary spare tire.
10.After the temporary spare tire is re-
moved from the cable, the cable must be
wound up completely by turning the hoist
nut shaft clockwise until you hear a click-
ing sound. Also visually inspect the cable
to make certain that there is no longer any
slack present.
Do not use the extension when
turning the wheel nuts. If you did,
you would not be able to achieve
sufficient tightening torque. The
900207
wheel nuts could then come
loose, resulting in a serious acci-
dent.
When using the spare tire hoist:
After the temporary spare tire is
removed from the cable, wind the
cable up completely until the re-
tainer at end of the cable sits
against the underside of the vehi-
cle. Driving with the cable not re-
tracted fully could result in dam-
age to the adjacent under floor
parts and lead to a serious acci-
dent.
The spare tire holder is designed
900208
to carry only the following kinds
of tires:
the temporary spare tire that
came with your vehicle
a full-size flat tire
A full size flat tire should be
stowed in the spare tire holder in
an emergency only. After having
the full-size flat tire repaired, im-
mediately swap it with the tempo-
rary spare tire.
Never stow a full-size tire that is
not flat in the spare tire holder.
Doing so can result in damage to
adjacent under floor parts and can
lead to a serious accident.
