4. Slide the cable retainer through the center of
the wheel and start to raise the compact
spare tire.
Make sure the retainer is fully seated across
the underside of the wheel.
5. When the compact spare tire is almost in the
stored position, turn the tire so the valve is
toward the rear of the vehicle.
This position helps when checking the air
pressure in the compact spare tire.
6. Raise the tire fully against the underside of
the vehicle. Continue turning the lug 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.
7. Make sure the tire is stored securely. Push,
pull (A), and then try to turn (B) the tire. If the
tire moves, use the lug wrench to tighten
the cable.

Storing the Tools
A. Tool Bag
B. Wing Bolt
C. JackPut back all tools as they were stored in the jack
storage compartment and put the compartment
cover back on.
1. Make that the bottom of the jack is facing
toward you.
2. Turn the jack (C) on its side and place it down
on the holding bracket.
3. Reinstall the wing bolt (B) by turning it
clockwise.
4. To replace the cover, line up the tabs on the
bottom of the cover with the slots in the cover
opening. Push the cover in place, insuring
that the upper front and rear tabs are in
the opening and push the cover closed. Make
sure that the center latch is fully engaged.
This secures the cover in place.
Store the center cap or the plastic bolt-on wheel
covers until a full size tire is put back on the
vehicle. When you replace the compact spare with
a full-size tire, reinstall the bolt-on wheel covers
or the center cap. Hand-tighten them over
the wheel nuts, using the lug wrench.
