Remove the compact spare tire by turning the wing nut
on the top of the spare counterclockwise and removing
it. See "Compact Spare Tire" later in this section for
more information about the compact spare. Now you
have access to the compact spare tire. Pull it up to
remove it.
The jack is located behind the compact spare. Turn the
jack screw to remove the jack from the clamps. The
wheel wrench is located underneath the wing nut and the
jack handle is attached to the cardboard cover that is on
top of the spare tire. Remove all of these items.
