1. Lay the tire on the ground with the valve stem facing up.

2. Slide the wheel partially under the vehicle and install the wire and

retainer through the center of the wheel.

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 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.

4. 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.

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

pressure (every six months, per Service Maintenance Section), or
at any time that the spare tire is disturbed through service of other
components.

6. 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.
