Removing and storing the spare
tire
Your spare tire is stored underneath
your vehicle, directly below the cargo
area.
To remove the spare tire:
1. Open the tailgate and luggage

under tray cover.

2. Find the plastic hex bolt cover (1)

and remove the cover.

3. Use the wheel lug nut wrench to

loosen the bolt enough to lower
the spare tire.
Insert the socket (1) into the hex
bolt and connect the wheel lug nut
wrench (2) to the socket.
Turn the wrench counterclockwise
until the spare tire reaches the
ground.

• Be sure to use the correct

front and rear jacking posi-
tions on the vehicle; never
use the bumpers or any other
part of the vehicle for jack
support.

• The vehicle can easily roll off

the jack causing serious
injury or death. No person
should place any portion of
their body under a vehicle that
is supported only by a jack;
use vehicle support stands.

• Do not start or run the engine

while the vehicle is on the
jack.

• Do not allow anyone to remain

in the vehicle while it is on the
jack.

• Make sure any children pres-

ent are in a secure place away
from the road and from the
vehicle to be raised with the
jack.
