18.Lay the flat tire near the rear of the
vehicle with the valve stem down.
Slide the cable retainer through the
center of the wheel and raise the flat
tire until you hear the hoist
mechanism click twice. This means
the wheel is firmly stored against the
underside of the vehicle.
When storing the spare tire, be certain
to turn the spare so the valve stem is
near the rear of the vehicle. This will
help you to check and maintain tire
pressure in the spare.
Push against the tire to be certain it is
stored firmly.
19.Replace all jacking tools as they were
stored in the jack storage compartment
and replace the compartment cover.
Unless you have the plastic “bolt-on”
wheel covers, be sure to also store the
nylon nut caps. When you replace the
compact spare with a full-size tire,
replace the bolt-on wheel covers or
the nylon nut caps. Tighten them
“hand tight” over the wheel nuts, using
the folding wrench (see step 7).
