2. Turn the folding wrench counterclockwise to lower the compact spare tire to the ground. Continue to turn the wrench so the compact spare tire can be pulled out from under the vehicle. 4. If your vehicle is an AWD vehicle, after removing the compact spare tire, turn the wrench clockwise to raise the cable back up. On an AWD vehicle, you can not store a full-size tire under the vehicle. It should be stowed inside the vehicle by the cable provided. See "Storing the Flat Tire on an All-Wheel-Drive Vehicle" later in this section. If you have a front-wheel-drive vehicle, the hoist is used to store a full-size or a flat road tire under the vehicle. See "Storing the Spare Tire and Tools" and "Storing the Flat Tire on a Front-Wheel Drive Vehicle" later in this section. If the compact spare tire will not lower, check under the vehicle to see if the tire is hanging loose and the cable end and spring under the wheel plate are missing. If so, the secondary latch system is engaged. See "Secondary Latch System" later in this section. To continue changing the flat tire see "Removing the Flat Tire and Installing the Spare Tire" later in this section. 3. To remove the compact spare tire from the cable, tilt the retainer at the end of the cable so it can be pulled up through the wheel opening. 5-84
