WARNING
When raising or lowering the spare wheel,
please keep in mind that components in
the exhaust system may be very hot.
To lower the spare wheel:
1. Fold down the lower section of the tail-
gate.
2. Fold up the rear section of the floor in the
cargo compartment.
3. Connect the two sections of the jack's
crank.
4. Insert the hooked end of the crank in the
spare wheel retaining attachment.
5. Lower the spare wheel under the vehicle
by turning the crank counterclockwise
until it is not possible to turn it further.
6. Pivot the toggle at the end of the cable 90
degrees to release it from the spare wheel
CAUTION
When the spare wheel is mounted on the
vehicle, the retaining cable could damage
the underside of the vehicle if it is not
retracted.
7. Crank up the cable again by turning the
crank clockwise.
8. Place the wheel with the flat tire in the
vehicle's cargo compartment.
NOTE
The space under the vehicle is designed to
hold the special spare wheel only. Other
full-size wheels will not fit in this compart-
ment.

Returning the spare wheel to the
storage compartment
1. Use the crank (turn it counterclockwise)
to lower the spare wheel's retaining
cable.
2. Pass the toggle at the end of the cable
through the center hole in the spare
wheel. Pivot the toggle 90 degrees so
that when raised, the wheel will rest on
the toggle.
3. Retract the retaining cable slightly by
slowly turning the crank clockwise several
times.
4. Position the wheel so that it is not
obstructed by components in the exhaust
system.
5. Continue to raise the wheel by turning the
crank clockwise. Raise the wheel a little
bit at a time and guide it around the rear
axle until it is securely seated in the stor-
age area.
6. When it is no longer possible to turn the
crank any further, check that the spare
wheel is securely in position in the stor-
age compartment.
