Spare Tire Removal Instructions
• The spare tire is located under the vehicle beneath the center console area.
1. Assemble the spare tire tools into a T-handle and place the square end over the spare tire
winch drive nut.
2. Rotate the nut to the left until the winch mechanism stops turning freely. This will allow enough
slack in the cable to allow you to pull the spare tire out from underneath the vehicle.
3. To remove the compact spare tire/cover assembly, assemble the winch T-handle extensions to
form a “T” and fit the winch T-handle over the drive nut, refer to “Assembling The Spare Tire
Hook” graphic in “Spare Tire Tools”. Rotate the nut to the left until the winch mechanism stops
turning freely. This will allow enough slack in the cable to allow you to pull the spare tire out
from under the vehicle.
NOTE: If either front tire is flat it may be
necessary to jack up the vehicle to remove the
compact spare tire/cover assembly from under
the vehicle.
4. Stand the tire/cover assembly upright and
remove the wheel spacer by squeezing the
winch retaining tabs together. Push the
retainer through the spare tire to release it
from the wheel.
Preparations For Jacking
1. Park the vehicle on a firm, level surface. Avoid ice or slippery areas.
2. Turn on the Hazard Warning flasher.
3. Set the parking brake.
4. Place the shift lever into PARK.
5. Turn OFF the ignition.
