Removing the spare tire

1. Use the ignition key to remove
the lock cylinder from the access
hole of the bumper to allow access
to the guide tube. Assemble the jack
handle as shown in the illustration.

2. Fully insert the jack handle
through the bumper hole and into
the guide tube through the access
hole in the rear bumper.

3. Turn the handle counterclockwise until tire is lowered to the ground,
the tire can be slid rearward and the cable is slightly slack.

4. Slide the retainer through the center of the 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 (in both directions)

the wheel that is diagonally opposite (other side and end of the
vehicle) to the tire being changed.

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

Refer to the instruction sheet (located with the jack) for detailed tire
change instructions.
