3. To remove the compact spare tire from the cable, tilt
the retainer at the end of the cable so it can be pulled
up through the wheel opening.
4. If your vehicle is an all - wheel - drive vehicle, after
removing the compact spare tire, turn the wrench
clockwise to raise the cable back up.
On an AWD vehicle, you can not store a full - size
tire under the vehicle. It should be stowed inside
the vehicle by the cable provided. See “Storing the
Flat Tire on an All
- Wheel - Drive Vehicle” later in
this section.
If you have a front - wheel - drive vehicle, the hoist
is used to store a full - size or a flat road tire under the
vehicle. See “Storing the Spare Tire and Tools” and
“Storing the Flat Tire on a Front
- Wheel - Drive
Vehicle” later in this section.
If the compact spare tire will not lower, check under the
vehicle to see if the tire is hanging loose and the cable
end and spring under the wheel plate are missing. If so,
the secondary latch system is engaged. See “Secondary
Latch System” later in this section.
To continue changing the flat tire see “Removing
the Flat Tire and Installing the Spare Tire” later in
this section.
