If it is visible, first try to tighten the cable by
turning the lug wrench clockwise until you hear
two clicks or feel it skip twice. You cannot
over-tighten the cable.
3. Loosen the cable by turning the wrench
counterclockwise three or four turns.
4. If the spare tire has not lowered, tighten the
cable all the way and then loosen it at least
two times.
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 456.
