Kia Niro: If you have a flat tire (with spare tire) / Removing and storing the spare tire
Turn the tire hold-down wing bolt counterclockwise.
Store the tire in the reverse order of removal.
To prevent the spare tire and tools from “rattling” while the vehicle is in motion, store them properly.
If it is hard to loosen the tire holddown wing bolt by hand, you can loosen it easily using the jack handle.
1. Put the jack handle (1) inside of the tire hold-down wing bolt.
2. Turn the tire hold-down wing bolt counterclockwise with the jack handle.

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