Kia Sedona: Storing the spare tire
1. Assemble the cover and spare tire with valve center aligning together.
2. Lay the tire on the ground with the valve stem facing down.

2. Place the wheel under the vehicle and install the retainer through the wheel center.
3. Turn the wrench clockwise until it clicks.
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.
