Installing the spare tire

Install the spare tire in place of the flat tire.

  1. Position the spare tire in front of the axle. The deeper side of the tire goes toward the vehicle.
  2. Lift the spare tire and slide the openings over the extruding bolts.
  3. Attach the lug nuts and tighten them finger-tight, using the same star pattern you used when removing them. You will tighten them completely when the vehicle is on the ground.
