When a wheel is installed, always remove any corrosion, dirt or

foreign materials present on the mounting surfaces of the wheel

or the surface of the front disc brake hub and rotor that contacts the

wheel. Installing wheels without correct metal-to-metal contact at the

wheel mounting surfaces can cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the

wheel to come off while the vehicle is in motion, resulting in loss of

control.

Stowing the flat/spare tire

Note: Failure to follow spare tire stowage instructions may result in

failure of cable or loss of spare tire.

1. Lay the tire on the ground with the valve stem facing in the direction

specified on the Tire Changing Instructions located with the jack

hardware.

2. 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.

3. 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 dealer for

assistance at your earliest convenience.

4. 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.

5. Repeat this tightness check procedure when servicing the spare tire

pressure (every six months, per scheduled maintenance guide), or at any

time that the spare tire is disturbed through service of other

components.

6. If removed, install the spare tire lock (if equipped) into the bumper

drive tube with the spare tire lock key (if equipped) and jack handle.
