Removing the spare tire

1. Remove the jack handle and
winch extension from the tray and
assemble them.

2. Open the spare tire winch access
plug in the bottom of the
compartment for the jack and tools
tray.

3. Insert the winch extension tool
assembly through the access hole in
the floor and engage the winch.

4. To remove the spare tire, turn the
handle counterclockwise until the
tire is lowered to the ground and
the cable is slightly slack.

5. Slide the retainer through the center of the spare tire wheel.

Tire change procedure

To help prevent the vehicle from moving when you change a tire,
be sure the parking brake is set, then block the wheels (both

front or both rear) on the opposite end of the vehicle from the wheel
being changed. If on a grade, block both opposite wheels on the
downward side of the hill.

If the vehicle slips off the jack, you or someone else could be
seriously injured.

On vehicles equipped with Air Suspension, turn OFF the Air
Suspension system prior to jacking, hoisting or towing your

vehicle.

Turn off the running boards (if equipped) before jacking or
placing any object under the vehicle. Never place your hand

between the extended running board and the vehicle. A moving
running board may cause injury.
