Carrier Placement for the Specialized 
Temporary Spare Tire:
Placing the specialized temporary 
spare tire in the spare tire carrier 
wrong side up or using any tire other 
than the small temporary spare tire 
designed for use with this vehicle is 
dangerous. It will result in poor 
attachment and insufficient ground 
clearance in the spare tire carrier and 
the danger of the tire falling off. This 
could result in someone being badly 
injured or even killed.
Place the specialized temporary spare 
tire in the spare tire carrier correctly.

Applying excessive lateral force while 
the spare tire lever is attached may 
result in damage to the socket.

NOTE

Unless the cable is rolled up 
completely, the spare tire lever cannot 
be removed from the socket.
