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.
WARNING
Ensure the spare tire retainer is properly aligned with the center of the spare tire to prevent the spare tire from “rattling”.
Otherwise, it may cause the spare tire to fall off the carrier and lead to an accident.
