Spare Tire Stowage

NOTE: Refer to “Spare Tire Removal” for
information on assembling the winch tools.

1. Place the spare tire near to the winch

cable. Hold the spare upright so that
the tire's tread is on the ground and
the valve stem is at the top of the
wheel facing away from the rear of the
vehicle.

2. Tilt the retainer at the end of the

winch cable and drop it through the
center of the wheel. Then place the
spare tire with the cable and retainer
underneath the vehicle.

3. Fit the assembled jack-handle over the winch drive nut. Rotate the jack-handle

assembly clockwise to raise the spare tire into the storage area. Continue to rotate
the jack-handle assembly until you hear the winch mechanism click three times.
It cannot be over tightened. Push against the tire several times to be sure it is
held securely in place.
