Stowing the Flat or Spare Tire
Note: Failure to follow spare tire stowage
instructions may result in failure of cable or
loss of spare tire.
Note: If you are stowing a tire that requires
reattaching it to the vehicle with a tether,
perform these steps first, then proceed with
the following steps.
1. Place the tire on end with the valve
stem facing toward the front of the
vehicle.
2. Place the tether into the bolt holes in
the wheel and attach the lug nut using
the lug wrench.

3. Lay the tire on the ground with the
valve stem facing up.
4. Slide the wheel partially under the
vehicle and install the retainer through
the wheel center. Pull on the cable to
align the components at the end of the
cable.
5. Turn the jack handle clockwise until
the tire is raised to its stowed position
underneath the vehicle. The effort to
turn the jack handle increases
significantly and the spare tire carrier
ratchets or slips when the tire is raised
to the maximum tightness. Tighten to
the best of your ability, to the point
where the ratchet/slip occurs, if
possible. The spare tire carrier will not
allow you to overtighten. If the spare
tire carrier ratchets or slips with little
effort, take the vehicle to your
authorized dealer for assistance at your
earliest convenience.
6. Check that the tire lies flat against the
frame and is properly tightened. Try to
push or pull, then turn the tire to be
sure it will not move. Loosen and
retighten, if necessary. Failure to
properly stow the spare tire may result
in failure of the winch cable and loss
of the tire.
