Changing a Flat Tire
FOLDING SPARE BRAKE HUB
TIRE
11. Before you put on the folding
spare tire, wipe any dirt off the
mounting surface of the wheel and
hub with a clean cloth. This will
assure a tight, even contact
between the wheel and hub.

Taking Care of the Unexpected
12. Put on the folding spare tire with
the air valve toward the bottom.
Put the wheel nuts back on finger-
tight, then tighten them in a
crisscross pattern with the wheel
wrench until the wheel is firmly
against the hub. Do not try to
tighten them fully. Inflate the
folding spare tire only when it is
on the car. Inflating it while it is
lying on the ground may trap
stones or other foreign matter
between the tire and the wheel rim.
