362 Wheels and Tires 19. Put flat tire, jack, lug wrench and tools away. Make sure the jack bag is properly reinstalled around the jack and tools assembly tray with the strap securely fastened. Be sure to tighten the wing nut sufficiently so it does not rattle when you drive. 20. Turn on the air suspension system. Stowing the Spare Tire 1. Lay the tire on the ground, near the rear of the vehicle, with the valve stem side facing up. 2. Slide the wheel partially under the vehicle and install the retainer through the wheel center. If equipped, you may have to remove the wheel center cap prior to pushing the retainer through the center of the wheel. To remove the center cap, press it off with the jack tool from the inner side of the wheel. Pull on the cable to align the components at the end of the cable. 3. Assemble the jack handle and winch extension (as shown in illustration), then insert the winch extension through the access hole behind the third row seat and engage the winch. 4. Turn the jack handle clockwise until the tire is raised to its stowed position underneath the vehicle. The wrench will become harder to turn and the spare tire winch will ratchet or slip when the tire is raised to maximum tightness. A clicking sound will be heard from the winch indicating that the tire is properly stowed. 5. Disassemble the jack tool and winch extension and snap them back into the tool tray. 6. Reinstall the jack bag properly around the jack and tool assembly tray, making sure the strap is securely fastened. 7. Close the access hole with the rubber plug. 8. Reinstall the tray into the vehicle and secure it with the wing nut (turn clockwise until tight). 2013 Expedition (exd) Owners Guide gf, 3rd Printing, April 2013 USA (fus)
