Storing the Spare Tire and
Tools
1.
Lay the tire near the rear of the vehicle with the
valve stem down.
2.
If
the vehicle has aluminum wheels, remove the
small center cap by tapping the back of the cap
with the extension of the shaft.
3.
Slide the cable retainer through the center of the
wheel and start to raise the tire.
Make sure the retainer is fully seated across the
underside
of
the wheel.
4.
When the tire is almost in the stored position,
turn the tire
so the valve is towards the rear of
the vehicle.
This will help when you check and maintain tire
pressure in the spare.
5.
Raise the tire fully against the underside of the
vehicle. Continue turning the folding wrench until you
feel more than two clicks. This indicates that the
compact spare tire is secure and the cable is tight.
The spare tire hoist cannot be overtightened.
PUSH
&
PULL
6.
Make sure the tire is stored securely. Push, pull,
and then try to rotate or turn the tire.
If
the tire
moves, use the folding wrench to tighten the cable.
Put back all tools as they were stored in the jack storage
compartment and put the compartment cover back
on.
