„ Re-storage of spare tire
1. Turn the spare tire hoist shaft end
counterclockwise with the wheel nut
wrench to loosen the cable sufficiently
enough to allow the cable end retainer go
through center hole of the temporary
spare tire.
2. Insert the retainer through the center
hole of the temporary tire (with the outside
of the tire facing up).
3. Turn the hoist shaft end clockwise with
the wheel nut wrench to wind the cable up
completely until you hear a few clicking
sounds. Confirm that the temporary spare
tire holding cable has been wound up
completely by shaking the temporary tire.
4. Put the rubber cap on the hoist shaft
end hole.
5. Place the wheel nut wrench and exten-
sion back into the tool bag and store the
jack and tool bag in their storage loca-
tions.
6. Fit the lid of the cargo area.
When using the spare tire hoist:
Do not use air tools or power tools
to turn the spare tire hoist shaft end.
If you do, it could result in severe
mechanical damage to the spare tire
hoist.
If the temporary spare tire is not
stored securely, it could damage ad-
jacent areas of the vehicle and make
an abnormal noise.
y When stowing a flat tire in the
spare tire holder, turn the hoist
shaft end only slowly. If it is
turned quickly, the wheel disc of
the flat tire could be damaged.
y A full-size flat tire should be
stowed in the spare tire holder in
an emergency only. After having
the flat tire repaired, immediately
swap it with the temporary spare
tire.
y Remember that the tread width of
a flat tire is wider than that of the
temporary spare tire. When carry-
ing a flat tire stowed in the spare
tire holder, make sure the tire
does not touch any obstacles.
