Secondary Latch System

Your vehicle has an underbody mounted tire
hoist assembly that has a secondary latch
system. It is designed to stop the compact
spare tire from suddenly falling off your vehicle
if the cable holding the spare tire is damaged.
For the secondary latch to work, the tire must be
stowed with the valve stem pointing down.
See Storing a Flat or Spare Tire and Tools
on page 472 for instructions on storing the
spare tire correctly.

CAUTION:

Before beginning this procedure read all
the instructions. Failure to read and follow
the instructions could damage the hoist
assembly and you and others could get
hurt. Read and follow the instructions
listed next.
