Removing and storing the spare tyre

Turn the tyre hold-down wing bolt counterclockwise.

Store the tyre in the reverse order of removal.

To prevent the spare tyre and tools from “rattling” whilst the vehicle is in motion, store them properly.

If it is hard to loosen the tyre hold-down wing bolt by hand, you can loosen it easily using the jack handle.

  1. Put the jack handle (1) inside of the tyre hold-down wing bolt.

  2. Turn the tyre hold-down wing bolt counterclockwise with the jack handle.

    WARNING

    Ensure the spare tyre retainer is properly aligned with the centre of the spare tyre to prevent the spare tyre from “rattling”.

    Otherwise, it may cause the spare tyre to fall off the carrier and lead to an accident.
