center hole of the spare tire.
Make sure the retainer is fully seated across the

tire over the bar, then continue to turn the folding
wrench clockwise to lift the spare tire.
7. When the tire is almost in the stored position, turn
the tire so that the valve stem is towards the rear of
the vehicle.
This will help when you check and maintain tire
pressure in the spare.
8. Raise the tire fully against the underside of the
vehicle. Continue turning the folding wrench until
you feel more than two clicks. This indicates that the
compact spare tire is secure and the cable is
tight. The spare tire hoist cannot be overtightened.
9. Make sure the tire is stored securely. Push, pull (A),
and then try to turn (B) the tire. If the tire moves,
use the folding wrench to tighten the cable.
10. Put back all tools as they were stored in the jack
storage compartment and put the compartment
cover back on.
To put the cover back on, slip the tabs on the side
of the cover into the cover opening. Push the
cover in place and push down the tabs on the cover
so that it rests in the groove. This secures the
cover in place.
