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 to rotate the ªspare tire
driveº nut. The nut is located under a plastic cover at the
center-rear of the cargo floor area, just inside the liftgate
opening.
CAUTION!
Do not use power tools to winch the tire up or down.
Impact type tools can damage the winch mechanism.
Spare Tire Removal
Fit the jack handle extension over the drive nut. Use the
Lug Wrench to rotate the nut counter clockwise until the
spare is on the ground with enough slack in the cable to
allow to pull the tire out from under the vehicle.

you are sure the jack is fully engaged.

clockwise, and remove the jack and wheel blocks.
9.
Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on the
wrench while tightening for increased leverage. Alternatenuts until each nut has been tightened twice. Correct wheel
nut tightness is 130 N´m (95 ft. lbs). If in doubt about the
correct tightness, have them checked with a torque wrench
by your authorized dealer or at a service station.
10. Lower the jack to it's fully closed position.
WARNING!
A loose tire or jack, thrown forward in a collision or
hard stop could endanger the occupants of the ve-
hicle. Always stow the jack parts and the spare tire in
the places provided.
