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.
CAUTION!
The winch mechanism is designed for use with the
jack wrench extension tool only. Use of air wrench or
power tool may damage the winch.
Spare Tire Removal
1. Remove the jack tools from the bag.
2. Raise the rubber mat and remove the plug from storagecompartment 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.

•If working on or near a roadway, be extremely
careful of motor traffic.
• To assure that spare tires, flat or inflated, are securely
stowed, spares must be stowed with the valve stem
facing the ground.
CAUTION!
Do not attempt to raise the vehicle by jacking on
locations other than those indicated in the Jacking
Instructions for this vehicle.
1. Loosen (but do not remove) the wheel lug nuts by turning them to the left, one turn, while the wheel is still
on the ground.

12. Slide the road wheel on the ground using the protec-tive plate until it is directly under the winch and
between the rear bumper and exhaust system heat
shields. Raise the tire by turning the lug wrench on the
winch extension clockwise until it clicks/ratchets three
times to make sure the cable is tight.
NOTE: Double check to ensure the tire is snug against the
underbody of the vehicle. Damage to the winch cable may
result if the vehicle is driven with the tire loose.CAUTION!
The winch mechanism is designed for use with the
jack wrench extension tool only. Use of air wrench or
power tool may damage the winch.
13. Lower the jack to the fully closed position. Return the tools to the proper positions in the tool bag. Fold the
flap on the tool bag under the tools and roll the tools in
the bag underneath the others. Use the hook and loop
fasteners to secure the tool bag to the jack with the lug
wrench on the forward side of the jack. Expand the jack
on the bracket by turning the thumb screw clockwise
until it is tight to prevent rattles.
14. Reinstall the plastic plug into the floor of the cargo area. Roll up and store the Jack, Tool Kit and Tire
Changing Instructions. Reinstall the cover for the jack
in the rear storage bin.
15. Have the aluminum road wheel and tire repaired as soon as possible and properly secure the spare tire, jack
and tool kit.
