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.
WHEEL NUTS
WARNING: When you install a
wheel, remove any corrosion, dirt or
foreign materials present on the
mounting surfaces of the wheel or the
surface of the wheel hub, brake drum or
brake disc that contacts the wheel. Make
sure to secure any fasteners that attach
the rotor to the hub so they do not
interfere with the mounting surfaces of
the wheel. Installing wheels without
following these steps can cause the
wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel to
come off while your vehicle is in motion,
resulting in loss of vehicle control,
personal injury or death.
