Stowing the spare tire

1. Lay the tire on the ground with the outboard side facing up.

2. Install the retainer through the
wheel center and slide the wheel
under the vehicle.

3. Turn the spare handle clockwise
until the tire is raised to its original
position underneath the vehicle. The
spare handle ratchets when the tire
is raised to the stowed position. It
will not allow you to overtighten.

4. Remove tools from the guide tube and install access plug, if removed.

Tire change procedure

To prevent the vehicle from moving when you change a tire, be
sure the parking brake is set, then block (in both directions) the

wheel that is diagonally opposite (other side and end of the vehicle) to
the tire being changed.

If the vehicle slips off the jack, you or someone else could be
seriously injured.

On vehicles equipped with Air Suspension, turn OFF the Air
Suspension switch prior to jacking, hoisting or towing your

vehicle.

Refer to the instruction sheet (located behind the interior trim access
panel with the jack) for detailed tire change instructions.
