3. Reinsert the lug wrench extension(s)
through the rear bumper and guide
tube and turn the lug wrench clockwise
until the tire is raised to its stowed
position underneath the vehicle. The
wrench becomes harder to turn and
the spare tire winch ratchets or slips
when the tire is raised to maximum
tightness. You will hear a clicking sound
from the winch indicating that the tire
is properly stowed, tighten until a
minimum of three clicks are heard.
Check that the tire lies flat against the
frame and is secure.
4. Carefully place all tools back in the tool
kit bag.
5. Reinstall the tool kit bag and tighten
the wing nut.

WHEEL NUTS

WARNING: When you install a
wheel, always remove any corrosion, dirt
or foreign materials present on the
mounting surfaces of the wheel or the
surface of the wheel hub, brake drum or
brake disc that contacts the wheel. Make
sure to secure any fasteners that attach
the rotor to the hub so they do not
interfere with the mounting surfaces of
the wheel. Installing wheels without
correct metal-to-metal contact at the
wheel mounting surfaces can cause the
wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel to
come off while your vehicle is in motion,
resulting in loss of vehicle control,
personal injury or death.
