Problems on the Road
To access the spare tire hoist
cover, you must first remove the
hitch cover.
Rotate the two fasteners, located
at the bottom of the cover,
counterclockwise. Then, pull the
cover down and rotate it toward
you to remove it.
Open the spare tire lock cover on
the bumper and use the ignition
key to remove the lock.
To remove the spare tire lock,
insert the key and turn it. Then pull
the lock straight out.

Assemble the wheel wrench and
the two jack handle extensions.
Insert the hoist end (open end) of
the extension into the hole in the
bumper. Connect the extension
onto the hoist shaft.
Do not use the chisel end of the
wheel wrench.
Turn the wheel wrench
counterclockwise to lower the
spare tire. Keep turning the wheel
wrench until the spare tire can be
pulled out from under the vehicle.
Use the hook on the wheel wrench
to pull the hoist cable towards you
so that you can reach the spare
tire.
If the spare tire does not lower to
the ground, the secondary latch is
engaged. See "Secondary Latch
System" later in this section for the
proper release procedure.
