Stowing the flat/spare tire

Note:

Failure to follow spare tire stowage instructions may result in

failure of cable or loss of spare tire.

If you are stowing a tire that requires reattaching it to the
vehicle with a tether, perform these steps first, then proceed with
the steps following.

1. Place tire on end with valve

stem facing rearward, away
from vehicle.

2. Place tether into bolt holes in

wheel and attach lug nut using
lug wrench.

3. Lay the tire on the ground with the valve stem facing down. If your

vehicle is equipped with aluminum wheels, remove the wheel center
cap.

4. Slide the wheel partially under the vehicle and install the retainer

through the center of the wheel.

5. 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
