8. Remove the jack and fully tighten

for the proper lug nut torque

specification.

Stowing the flat/spare tire

Note: Failure to follow spare tire stowage instructions may result in

failure of cable or loss of spare tire.

1. Lay the tire on the ground with the valve stem facing up toward the

vehicle.

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

through the wheel center. Pull on the cables to align the components at

the end of the cables.

3. Attach the second cable by screwing the bolt into one of the holes in

the wheel.

4. Turn the end of the first cable so it fits through the slot and install the

cable. Then slide the cap over the retainer.

5. Turn the lug wrench clockwise until the tire is raised to its stowed

position underneath the vehicle. The effort to turn the jack handle

increases significantly and the spare tire carrier ratchets or slips when

the tire is raised to the maximum tightness. Tighten to the best of your

ability, to the point where the ratchet/slip occurs, if possible. The spare

tire carrier will not allow you to overtighten. If the spare tire carrier

ratchets or slips with little effort, take the vehicle to your authorized

dealer for assistance at your earliest convenience.

6. Check that the tire lies flat against the frame and is properly

tightened. Try to push or pull, then turn the tire to be sure it will not

move. Loosen and retighten, if necessary. Failure to properly stow the

spare tire may result in failure of the winch cable and loss of the tire.
