Changing a Flat Tire

11.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.

12. 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

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 car. Inflating it while it is

lying on the ground may trap
stones or other foreign matter
between the tire and the wheel rim.
