4. Lower your vehicle and remove the
vehicle jack.
5. Fully tighten all of the lug nuts in the
sequence shown. See Wheel Nuts
(page 470).
Stowing the Flat or Spare Tire
1. Lay the tire on the ground, near the rear
of the vehicle, with the valve stem side
facing up.
2. Slide the wheel partially under the
vehicle and install the retainer through
the wheel center. If equipped, you may
have to remove the wheel center cap
prior to pushing the retainer through
the center of the wheel. To remove the
center cap, press it off with the jack
tool from the inner side of the wheel.
Pull on the cable to align the
components at the end of the cable.
3. Insert the handle into the guide hole
and engage the winch.
4. Turn the swivel wrench clockwise until
the tire is raised to its stowed position
underneath the vehicle. The wrench
becomes harder to turn and the spare
tire winch ratchets or slips when the
tire is raised to its maximum tightness.
A clicking sound is heard from the
winch indicating the tire is properly
stowed.
5. Carefully place all tools back to the
tool kit bag.
6. Reinstall the tool kit bag in the original
position.
7. Reinstall the jack properly on the
bracket and secure the wing nut.
8. Unblock the wheel.
Note: Do not use power tools on the spare
wheel winch input drive.
Note: Only use the spare tire carrier to stow
the tire and wheel combination provided
with your vehicle. Other tire and wheel
combinations can cause the tire carrier to
fail.
CHANGING A FLAT TIRE -
RAPTOR
If you get a flat tire when driving, do not
apply the brake heavily. Instead, gradually
decrease your speed, hold the steering
wheel firmly and slowly move to a safe
place on the side of the road.
Have the flat serviced by an authorized
dealer to prevent damage to the system
sensors. See Tire Pressure Monitoring
System Precautions (page 453). Replace
the spare tire with a road tire as soon as
possible. During repairing or replacing the
flat tire, have the authorized dealer inspect
the system sensor for damage.
Note: The use of tire sealant could damage
your tire pressure monitoring system and
should only be used in roadside
emergencies.
Note: The tire pressure monitoring system
indicator light illuminates when the spare
tire is in use. To restore the full function of
the monitoring system, all road wheels
equipped with tire pressure monitoring
sensors must be mounted on this vehicle.
