Vehicle Care

3. Attach the jack handle/jack

handle 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 the

cable and pull it through the
wheel opening. Pull the tire out
from under the vehicle.
