Vehicles equipped with dual

rear wheels, insert the lug
wrench extension into the lug
wrench to reach the lug nuts.

2. Attach the spare tire lock key (A)
to the jack handle (B).

3. Fully insert the jack handle (with
one extension) through the bumper
hole and into the guide tube. The
key and lock will engage with a
slight push and counterclockwise
turn. Some resistance will be felt
when turning the jack handle
assembly.

and lower the spare tire until you
can slide the tire rearward and the
cable is slack.

5. Remove the retainer through the center of the wheel.

Tire change procedure

WARNING: When one of the rear wheels is off the ground, the
transmission alone will not prevent the vehicle from moving or

slipping off the jack, even if the transmission is in P (Park) (automatic
transmission) or R (Reverse) (manual transmission). To help prevent
the vehicle from moving when you change the tire, be sure that the
parking brake is set and the diagonally opposite wheel is blocked.
