cable holding the spare tire is
damaged. For the secondary latch
to work, the tire must be stowed
with the valve stem pointing down.
See Storing a Flat or Spare Tire
and Tools under Tire Changing on
page 10 68 for instructions on
storing the spare tire correctly.

Before beginning this procedure
read all the instructions. Failure to
