Secondary Latch System
Your vehicle has an underbody‐
mounted tire hoist assembly that
has a secondary latch system. It is
designed to stop the spare tire from
suddenly falling off your vehicle. For
the secondary latch to work, the
spare must be installed with the
valve stem pointing down. See
“Storing a Flat or Spare Tire and
Tools” under Tire Changing on
page 10‑68.

Before beginning this procedure
read all the instructions. Failure to
read and follow the instructions
could damage the hoist assembly

To release the spare tire from the
secondary latch:
1. Check under the vehicle to see if
the cable end fitting is visible.
2. If the cable end fitting is not
visible, proceed to Step 6.
If it is visible, first try to tighten
the cable by turning the wheel
wrench clockwise until you hear
two clicks or feel it skip twice.
You cannot overtighten the
cable.
