Follow these instructions to lower the spare tire:
1. If the vehicle is equipped with a hoist lock (I),
open the spare tire lock cover on the bumper and
use the ignition key to remove the lock.
2. Assemble the wheel wrench (B) and the two jack
handle extensions (C) as shown. Insert the hoist end
(open end) (K) of the extension through the hole (J)
in the rear bumper. Be sure the hoist end of the
extension connects into the hoist shaft (D)
(the ribbed square end of the extension is used
to lower the spare tire (F)).
3. Turn the wheel wrench counterclockwise to lower
the spare tire to the ground. Continue to turn the
wheel wrench until the spare tire can be pulled out
from under the vehicle. The wheel wrench has a
hook that allows you to pull the hoist cable (H)
towards you, to assist in reaching the spare tire.
4. When the tire has been lowered, tilt the retainer (G)
at the end of the cable so it can be pulled up through
the wheel opening.
5. Put the spare tire near the flat tire.
The tools you'll be using include the bottle jack (A), the
wheel blocks (B), the jack handle (C), the jack handle
extensions (D), and the wheel wrench (E).
If the flat tire is on a rear tire of the vehicle, you'll need
to use both jack handle extensions.
