with the valve stem pointed down and to the rear.

angle, through the hole in the rear bumper and
into the hoist shaft.
4. Raise the tire fully against the underside of the
vehicle by turning the wrench clockwise until you
hear two clicks or feel it skip twice. The spare
tire hoist cannot be overtightened.

and then try to rotate or turn the tire. If the tire
moves, use the wheel wrench to tighten the cable.
