Spare tire
The spare tire is stored in the spare tire holder located
under the rear of the cargo bed.
The spare tire holder has a hoist mechanism that can
lower and raise the spare tire easily. The spare tire
holder is designed to carry only the temporary spare
tire that comes with your vehicle.
Before using the temporary spare tire, see the “Tem-
porary spare tire” section in this chapter for instruc-
tions and precautions.
„ Removing the spare tire

fer to the “Jack and tools” section in this chapter for its

2. Open the tailgate and remove the rubber cap from
the cargo bed. Pull up the “RELEASE” portion of the
cap when removing it.
3. Locate the hex-headed hoist shaft end inside the
hole.
