If the spare tire did lower to the ground, continue with Step 5 under "Removing the Spare Tire (Vehicles with the Rear Convenience Center)" listed previously. 5. If you still cannot lower the spare tire to the ground, see Secondary Latch System on page 5-84. If the spare tire will not lower, the secondary latch may be engaged causing the tire not to lower. Do the following to check the cable: 1. Check under the vehicle to see if the cable is visible. 2. If it is not visible, see Secondary Latch System on page 5-84. If it is visible, first try to tighten the cable by turning the folding wrench clockwise until you hear two clicks or feel it skip twice. You cannot over-tighten the cable. 5-79
