WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
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.
Spare Tire Removal
1. Remove the jack tools from the bag.
2. Raise the protective rubber mat covering the storage compartment floor and remove the
plug to access the winch drive.
3. Fit the jack handle extension over the drive nut. Use the lug wrench handle and extension
to completely lower the spare tire. Keep turning the handle until the winch STOPS. NOTE:
Do not use power tools to operate the winch.
