Storing a jack, a tire, or other equipment
in the passenger compartment of the
vehicle could cause injury. In a sudden
stop or collision, loose equipment could
strike someone. Store all these in the
proper place.

Failure to follow these tire storage
instructions carefully could result in
personal injury or property damage if the
hoist cable fails or if the tire comes loose.
Make sure the tire is stored securely
before driving.
Caution
Always store the spare tire or flat tire
with the valve stem pointed up. Stowing
a tire with the valve stem pointed down
could result in damage to the wheel.
Caution
The tire hoist is designed to be raised
and lowered with tension on the cable.
If the hoist must be raised or lowered
without a tire attached, do so only by
hand, and at a slow pace, to avoid
damaging the mechanism. Do not use
power tools.
{Warning

come loose and cause a crash. To avoid
personal injury or property damage,
always store the spare tire when the
vehicle is parked on a level surface.If the vehicle has 275/60R20 or 275/50R22
