temporary spare tire is on the ground with
enough cable slack to allow you to pull it
out from under the vehicle. 10.Tilt the retainer at the end of the cable
and pull it through the center of the tempo-

moved from the cable, the cable must be
wound up completely by turning the hoist
nut shaft clockwise until you hear a click-
ing sound. Also visually inspect the cable
to make certain that there is no longer any
slack present.

keep it open) the subfloor storage
lid before turning the wheel nut
wrench, otherwise the lid may be
damaged.

center hole of the temporary
spare tire while you pulling it out,
because they might be pinched in
between the wheel and the retain-
er.

y Do not use the extension when
turning the wheel nuts. If you did,
you would not be able to achieve
sufficient tightening torque. The
wheel nuts could then come

removed from the cable, wind the
cable up completely until the re-
tainer at end of the cable sits

tracted fully could result in dam-
age to the adjacent under floor
parts and lead to a serious acci-
dent.

to carry only the following kinds
of tires:
