4. To remove the spare tire from the cable, tilt the
retainer and slip it through the wheel opening.
5. After removing the spare tire, turn the wrench
clockwise to raise the cable back up.
Do not store a full-size or a flat road tire under the
vehicle. See “Storing a Flat (Vehicles without
the Sliding Rear Convenience Tray)” and “Storing a
Flat (Vehicles with the Sliding Rear Convenience
Tray)” later in this section.
To continue changing the flat tire see “Removing the
Flat Tire and Installing the Spare Tire” later in this
section.
If the spare tire will not lower, the secondary latch
may be engaged causing the tire not to lower. Do the
following to check the cable:
1. Check under the vehicle to see if the cable is
visible.
2. If it’s not visible, see “Secondary Latch System”
later in this section.
If it is visible, first try to tighten the cable by turning
the folding wrench clockwise until you hear two
clicks or feel it skip twice. You cannot over-tighten
the cable.
