If the cable is not visible, start
this procedure at Step 6.
2. Turn the hoist extension counterclockwise until
approximately 15 cm (6 in) of
cable is exposed.
3. Attach the jack handle/jackhandle extension and wheel
wrench to the jack.
4. Place the jack under the vehicle,ahead of the rear bumper.
Position the center lift point of
the jack under the center of the
spare tire and turn the handle
clockwise to raise the jack until it
lifts the secondary latch spring. 5. Keep raising the jack until the
spare tire stops moving upward
and is held firmly in place. This
lets you know that the secondary
latch has released. The spare
tire is now balancing on the jack.
6. Lower the jack by turning the wheel wrench counterclockwise.
Keep lowering the jack until the
spare tire slides off the jack or is
hanging by the cable.
7. Disconnect the jack handle from the jack and carefully remove
the jack. Use one hand to push
against the spare while firmly
pulling the jack out from under
the spare tire with the
other hand.
If the spare tire is hanging from
the cable, assembly the wheel
wrench onto the hoist extension
and insert the chisel end of the
hoist extension into the hoist
shaft hole above the bumper.
Turn the wheel wrench
counterclockwise to lower the
spare the rest of the way.

8. Tilt the retainer at the end of thecable and pull it through the
wheel opening. Pull the tire out
from under the vehicle.
Notice: If you drive away before
the spare tire or secondary
latch system cable has been
reinstalled, you could damage the
vehicle. Always reinstall this
cable before driving the vehicle.
9. If the cable is hanging under the
vehicle, turn the wheel wrench in
the hoist shaft hole in the
bumper clockwise to raise the
cable back up.
Have the hoist assembly inspected
as soon as you can. You will not be
able to store a spare or flat tire
using the hoist assembly until it has
been repaired or replaced. To continue changing the flat tire,
return to Step 4 of
“Storing a Flat or
Spare Tire and Tools” underTire
Changing on page 10‑68.
Full-Size Spare Tire
If this vehicle came with a full-size
spare tire, it was fully inflated when
new, however, it can lose air over
time. Check the inflation pressure
regularly. See Tire Pressure on
page 10‑53 andVehicle Load Limits
on page 9‑10. For instructions on
how to remove, install, or store a
spare tire, see Tire Changing on
page 10‑68. After installing the spare tire on the
vehicle, stop as soon as possible
and check that the spare is correctly
inflated. The spare tire is made to
perform well at speeds up to
112 km/h (70 mph) at the
recommended inflation pressure, so
you can finish your trip.
Have the damaged or flat road tire
repaired or replaced back onto the
vehicle, as soon as possible, so the
spare tire will be available in case it
is needed again.
Do not mix tires and wheels of
different sizes, because they will not
fit. Keep the spare tire and its wheel
together.
