10. Tighten the wheel
nuts rmly in a
crisscross sequence,
as shown.
Notice:Wheel covers will not t on your
compact spare. If you try to put a wheel cover

the wheel cover securely in the rear of the
vehicle until you have the at tire repaired or
replaced.Secondary Latch System
Your vehicle may have an underbody-mounted tire
hoist assembly equipped with a secondary latch
system. It is designed to stop a tire from suddenly
falling off your vehicle if the cable holding the
spare tire is damaged. For the secondary latch to
work, the tire must be stowed with the valve
stem pointing down.
Your vehicle uses the underbody tire hoist
assembly to store either the compact spare or a
at road tire. SeeStoring a Flat or Spare Tire and
Tools on page 483for instructions on storing
the spare or at tire correctly.
{CAUTION:
Before beginning this procedure read all
the instructions. Failure to read and follow
the instructions could damage the hoist
assembly and you and others could get
hurt. Read and follow the instructions
listed next.
481

Storing the Flat or Spare Tire
{CAUTION:
The underbody-mounted spare tire needs
to be stored with the valve stem pointing
down. If the spare tire is stored with the
valve stem pointing upwards, its
secondary latch will not work properly
and the spare tire could loosen and
suddenly fall from your vehicle. If this
happened when your vehicle was being
driven, the tire might contact a person or
another vehicle, causing injury and, of
course, damage to itself as well. Be sure
the underbody-mounted spare tire is
stored with its valve stem pointing down.To store the spare tire, do the following:
1. Lay the tire near the rear of the vehicle with
the valve stem down.
2. Remove the small center cap by tapping the
back of the cap with the extension of the
shaft, if the vehicle has aluminum wheels.
3. Slide the cable retainer through the center of
the wheel and start to raise the tire.
Make sure the retainer is fully seated across
the underside of the wheel.
4. When the tire is almost in the stored position,
turn the tire so the valve is towards the rear of
the vehicle.
This will help when you check and maintain
tire pressure in the spare.
5. 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.
