Spare Tire Stowage

NOTE:

Refer to “Spare Tire Removal” for information on assembling the winch tools.
1. Place the spare tire near to the winch cable. Hold the spare upright so that the tire's

tread is on the ground and the valve stem is at the top of the wheel facing away from
the rear of the vehicle.

2. Tilt the retainer at the end of the winch cable and drop it through the center of the

wheel. Then place the spare tire with the cable and retainer underneath the vehicle.

3. Fit the assembled jack-handle over the winch drive nut. Rotate the jack-handle

assembly clockwise to raise the spare tire into the storage area. Continue to rotate the
jack-handle assembly until you hear the winch mechanism click three times. It cannot
be over tightened. Push against the tire several times to be sure it is held securely in
place.
