Removing the Spare Tire and Tools
The jacking equipment you'll need is stored along the
driver's rear wall. In some cases, you may have to
remove the spare tire in order to reach the jack. Your
vehicle is also equipped with work gloves and a plastic
ground mat to assist in the changing of a flat tire.
To remove your jack cover,
pull up on the latch at the
end of the cover, near the
endgate and the latch on the
top of the cover. Remove
the wheel blocks, jack and
wheel wrench.

The following instructions explain how to remove
the spare tire, depending on where it is mounted on
your vehicle.
NOTICE:
I
Never remove or restow a tire frodto a
stowage position under the vehicle while the
vehicle is supported by a jack. Always tighten
the tire fully against the underside of the vehicle
when restowing.
To remove the
underbody-mounted spare,
insert the chisel end of the
wheel wrench, on an angle,
into the hole in
the
rear
bumper. Be sure the chisel
end of the wheel wrench
connects into the hoist shaft.
