cannot overtighten the cable.

securely. Push, pull, and then
try to turn the tire. If the tire

that there may be slack in the
cable.
Repeat this tightness check
procedure when checking the
spare tire pressure according
to the scheduled maintenance
information or any time the
spare tire is handled due to
service of other components.
