Storing a Flat or Spare Tire and
Tools

{

CAUTION:

Storing a jack, a tire, or other equipment in the
passenger compartment of the vehicle could
cause injury. In a sudden stop or collision, loose
equipment could strike someone. Store all these
in the proper place.

1. Put the tire on the ground at the rear of the vehicle

with the valve stem pointed down.

2. Pull the retaining bar through the center of the

wheel, making sure it is properly attached.

3. Pull the wheel toward the rear of the vehicle,

keeping the cable tight.

4. Put the chisel end of the hoist extension on an

angle through the hole in the rear door frame,
above the bumper.

5. Raise the tire fully against the underside of the

vehicle. Continue turning the wheel wrench until
the tire is secure and the cable is tight. The spare
tire hoist cannot be overtightened.
