Notice:If you drive away before
the spare tire or secondary latch
system cable has been
reinstalled, you could damage the
vehicle. Always reinstall this
cable before driving the vehicle.
9. If the cable is hanging under the
vehicle, turn the wheel wrench in
the hoist shaft hole in the
bumper clockwise to raise the
cable back up.
Have the hoist assembly inspected
as soon as you can. You will not be
able to store a spare or flat tire
using the hoist assembly until it has
been repaired or replaced.
To continue changing the flat tire,
return to Step 4 of “Storing a Flat or
Spare Tire and Tools” underTire
Changing on page 10‑74.Full-Size Spare Tire
This vehicle, when new, may have
had a fully-inflated spare tire.
A spare tire may lose air over time,
so check its inflation pressure
regularly. See Tire Pressure on
page 10‑56 andVehicle Load Limits
on page 9‑11 for information
regarding proper tire inflation and
loading the vehicle. For instruction
on how to remove, install or store a
spare tire, see “Removing the Flat
Tire and Installing the Spare Tire”
and “Storing a Flat or Spare Tire
and Tools” underTire Changing on
page 10‑74. After installing the spare tire on the
vehicle, you should stop as soon as
possible and make sure the spare is
correctly inflated. The spare tire is
made to perform well at speeds up
to 112 km/h (70 mph) at the
recommended inflation pressure, so
you can finish your trip.
Have the damaged or flat road tire
repaired or replaced as soon as you
can and installed back onto the
vehicle. This way, a spare tire will
be available in case you need it
again. Do not mix tires and wheels
of different sizes, because they will
not fit. Keep the spare tire and its
wheel together.
