Spare Tire Stowage

The spare tire is stowed under the rear of the vehicle by
means of a cable winch mechanism. To remove or stow
the spare, use the jack handle/lug wrench connected to
the square socket extension to rotate the "spare tire
drive" nut. The nut is located under a plastic cover at the
center-rear of the cargo floor area, just inside the liftgate
opening.
