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.

Notice: Storing an aluminum wheel with a flat tire under your vehicle for an extended period of time or with the valve stem pointing up can damage the wheel. Always stow the wheel with the valve stem pointing down and have the wheel/tire repaired as soon as possible.

Store the tire under the rear of the vehicle in the spare tire carrier. Use the art and text following to help you:

1. Put the tire on the ground at the rear of the vehicle with the valve stem pointed down, and to the rear.




Tilt the retainer downward and through the wheel opening. Make sure the retainer is fully seated across the underside of the wheel.




2. Attach the wheel wrench (H) and extensions (I) together.




Insert the hoist end (F) through the hole (G) in the rear bumper and into the hoist shaft.

3. Turn the wheel wrench clockwise to raise the tire. After raising the tire halfway upward, check to make sure the retainer is still seated properly across the wheel opening and that the tire is level with the underside of the vehicle.
4. Continue raising the tire until it is fully against the underside of the vehicle and you hear two clicks or feel it skip twice. You cannot overtighten the cable.



5. Make sure the tire is stored securely. Push, pull (A), and then try to turn (B) the tire. If the tire moves, use the wheel wrench to tighten the cable.
6. Reinstall the spare tire lock (if equipped).
