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.
Spare Tire Removal
1. Remove the jack tools from the bag.
2. Raise the protective rubber mat covering the storage compartment floor and remove
the plug to access the winch drive.
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.
NOTE:
Do not use power tools to operate the winch.
