Storing the Spare Tire

{

Warning

The underbody-mounted spare
tire needs to be stored with the
valve stem pointing down. If the
spare tire is stored with the valve
stem pointing upwards, the
secondary latch will not work
properly and the spare tire could
loosen and suddenly fall from the
vehicle. If this happened when
the vehicle was being driven, the
tire might contact a person or
another vehicle, causing injury
and damage to itself. Be sure the
underbody-mounted spare tire is
stored with the valve stem
pointing down.

{

Warning

Storing a jack, a tire, or other
equipment in the passenger
compartment of the vehicle could
cause injury. In a sudden stop or
collision, loose equipment could
strike someone. Store all these in
the proper place.

To store the spare tire:

1. Lay the compact spare tire near

the rear of the vehicle with the
valve stem down.

2. Reinstall the plastic spare tire

heat shield on the compact
spare tire.

3. Slide the cable retainer through

the center of the wheel and start
to raise the compact spare tire.

Make sure the retainer is fully
seated across the underside of
the wheel.

4. When the compact spare tire is

almost in the stored position,
turn the tire so the valve is
toward the rear of the vehicle.

This position helps when
checking the air pressure in the
compact spare tire.

5. Raise the tire fully against the

underside of the vehicle.
Continue turning the wrench until
you feel more than two clicks.
This indicates that the compact
spare tire is secure and the
cable is tight. The spare tire
hoist cannot be overtightened.
