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.
Do not use power tools to winch the tire up or down. Impact type tools can damage the
winch mechanism.
Spare Tire Removal
1. Remove the jack tools from the bag.
2. Raise the rubber mat and remove the plug from storage compartment floor.
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.
