10. Remove the jack and fully

tighten the lug nuts, in the

order shown. Refer to

Wheel

lug nut torque specifications

later in this chapter for the

proper lug nut torque

specification.

11. Stow the flat tire. Refer to

Stowing the spare tire.

12. Stow the jack and lug wrench.

Make sure the jack is fastened so it does not rattle when you drive.

13. Unblock the wheels.

Stowing the flat/spare tire

Note:

Failure to follow spare tire stowage instructions may result in

failure of cable or loss of 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 wire and

retainer through the center of the wheel.

3. Turn the jack handle clockwise until the tire is raised to its original

position underneath the vehicle. The effort to turn the jack handle

increases significantly as the tire contacts the frame. The spare tire

carrier will ratchet when the tire is in the fully stowed position. The

spare tire carrier has a built-in ratchet feature that will not allow you

to overtighten. If the spare tire carrier ratchets with very little effort,

take the vehicle to your authorized dealer for assistance at your

earliest convenience.

4. Check that the tire lies flat against the frame assembly. Push against

the tire to make sure it is tightly seated under the vehicle. Loosen

and retighten, if necessary. Failure to properly stow the spare tire

may result in failure of the winch cable and loss of the spare tire.

5. Repeat this tightness check procedure when servicing the spare tire

pressure (every six months, per

Service Maintenance Section),

or

at any time that the spare tire is disturbed through service of other

components.

6. Install the spare tire lock (if equipped) into the access hole above

the rear bumper with the spare tire lock key (if equipped) and jack

handle.
