2.Place the flat tire face up under the hoist.
3.Insert the hoist bracket into the center hole
of the flat tire.
4.Turn the extension bar with the wheel nut
wrench to the right until the flat tire rests
against the underbody of the vehicle and
you hear the hoist click.
5.Securely put the jack, stay, extension bar,
and wheel nut wrench back in the tool
case.

Always raise the spare tire hoist, even if you are not stowing a tire. If the hoist is left down, it will be
damaged during driving and need to be replaced.

crash and can seriously injure the
occupants.
Store the wheel, jack, and tools securely
before driving.
