To store the spare tire and tools, do the following:

1. Lay the compact spare tire on the ground

at the rear of the vehicle. Position the
compact spare tire so that the valve stem is
pointed down facing the rear of the vehicle.

2. Lower the cable to the ground. See Removing

the Spare Tire and Tools on page 426.

3. Tilt the retainer downward and slip it through

the center hole of the spare tire.

Make sure the retainer is fully seated across
the underside of the wheel.

4. Attach the wheel wrench to the hoist shaft.

5. Turn the wheel wrench clockwise to lift

the spare tire.

6. When the tire is almost in the stored position,

turn the tire so that the valve stem is towards
the rear of the vehicle.

This will help when you check and maintain
tire pressure in the spare.

7. Raise the tire fully against the underside of

the vehicle. Continue turning the wheel
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.
