Stowing the flat/spare tire

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

failure of cable or loss of spare tire.

If you are stowing a tire that requires reattaching it to the

vehicle with a tether, perform these steps first, then proceed with

the steps following.

1. Place the tire on end with the

valve stem facing rearward, away

from 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 wire and

retainer through the center of the wheel.

5. 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 as the tire contacts the frame. The spare tire

carrier will ratchet when the tire is in the fully stowed position. The

spare tire carrier has a built-in ratchet feature that will not allow you to

overtighten. If the spare tire carrier ratchets with very 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 assembly. Push against

the tire to make sure it is tightly seated under the vehicle. Loosen and

retighten, if necessary. Failure to properly stow the spare tire may result

in failure of the winch cable and loss of the spare tire.

7. 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.

8. Install the spare tire lock (if equipped) into the access hole above the

rear bumper with the spare tire lock key (if equipped) and jack handle.
