Stowing the spare
1. Lay the tire on the ground with the valve stem facing up.
2. Slide the wheel under the vehicle
and install the retainer through the
wheel center.
3. Turn the jack handle clockwise
until the tire is raised to its original
position underneath the vehicle. The
effort to turn the jack handle
increases significantly and the spare
tire carrier ratchets when the tire is
raised to the stowed position. The spare tire carrier has a built-in ratchet
feature that will not allow you to overtighten.
4. Check that the tire lies flat to the frame assembly. Push against the
tire to make sure it is tightly seated under the vehicle. Loosen or
retighten if necessary.
5. The following steps are required to secure the support bracket
(if equipped) under the spare tire:
• Move the support bracket over the spare tire.
• Slide the support bracket over the eyebolt into the slot on the support
bracket.
• Tighten the eyebolt with tapered end of lug wrench leaving it
positioned at a right angle of the slot on the support bracket.
