Carrier Placement for the Specialized
Temporary Spare Tire:
Placing the specialized temporary
spare tire in the spare tire carrier
wrong side up or using any tire other
than the small temporary spare tire
designed for use with this vehicle is
dangerous. It will result in poor
attachment and insufficient ground
clearance in the spare tire carrier and
the danger of the tire falling off. This
could result in someone being badly
injured or even killed.
Place the specialized temporary spare
tire in the spare tire carrier correctly.
Applying excessive lateral force while
the spare tire lever is attached may
result in damage to the socket.
NOTE
Unless the cable is rolled up
completely, the spare tire lever cannot
be removed from the socket.
