Storing a Flat or Spare Tire
and Tools

{

CAUTION:

Storing a jack, a tire, or other equipment
in the passenger compartment of the
vehicle could cause injury. In a sudden
stop or collision, loose equipment could
strike someone. Store all these in the
proper place.

1. Put the tire on the ground at the rear of the

vehicle with the valve stem pointed down.

2. Pull the retaining bar through the center of the

wheel, making sure it is properly attached.

3. Pull the wheel toward the rear of the vehicle,

keeping the cable tight.

4. With the UP side facing you, attach the

ratchet to the wheel wrench.

5. Put the flat end of the wheel wrench on an

angle through the hole in the rear door
frame, above the bumper.

6. Raise the tire fully against the underside of

the vehicle. Continue turning the ratchet until
the tire is secure and the cable is tight.
The spare tire hoist cannot be overtightened.
