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. Assemble the winch handle extensions to
form the spare tire hook, and pull the spare
tire 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 re-
tainer 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.
NOTE:
Passengers should not remain in the vehicle
when the vehicle is being jacked.
• Block both the front and rear of the wheel
diagonally opposite the jacking position.
For example, if changing the right front tire,
block the left rear wheel.
