Stowing the Flat or Spare Tire
Note: Failure to follow the spare tire
stowage instructions could result in failure
of the cable or loss of the spare tire.
1. Lay the tire on the ground with the
valve stem facing up.
2. Slide the wheel partially under the
vehicle and install the retainer through
the wheel center. Pull on the cable to
align the components at the end of the
cable.
3. Turn the jack handle clockwise until
you raise the tire to its stowed position
underneath the vehicle. The effort to
turn the jack handle increases
significantly and the spare tire carrier
ratchets or slips when you raise the tire
to the maximum tightness. Tighten to
the point where the ratchet or slip
occurs a minimum of three times, as
indicated by an audible click each time.
The spare tire carrier does not allow
you to overtighten. If the spare tire
carrier ratchets or slips with little effort,
have your vehicle checked as soon as
possible.
