Before you put on the folding
spare tire, wipe any dirt off the
mounting surface of the wheel and
hub with a clean cloth. This will
assure a tight, even contact
between the wheel and hub.

Put on the folding spare tire with
the air valve toward the bottom.
Put the wheel nuts back on finger-
tight, then tighten them in a
crisscross pattern with the wheel
nut wrench until the wheel is
firmly against the hub. Do not try
to tighten them fully. Inflate the
folding spare tire only when it is
on the vehicle. Inflating it while it
is lying on the ground may trap
stones or other foreign matter
between the tire and the wheel rim.

Unscrew the valve cap from the
folding spare tire’s air valve by
turning it counterclockwise. Then
screw on the air pump hose.
