7. Lower the jack by turning the ratchet

counterclockwise. Keep lowering the jack
until the spare tire slides off the jack or
is hanging by the cable.

8. Disconnect the jack handle from the jack and

carefully remove the jack. Use one hand to
push against the spare while firmly pulling the
jack out from under the spare tire with the
other hand.

If the spare tire is hanging from the cable,
slide the ratchet onto the wheel wrench and
insert the wheel wrench into the hoist
shaft hole above the bumper. Turn the wheel
wrench counterclockwise to lower the spare
the rest of the way. Be sure the DOWN mark
on the ratchet is facing you.

9. Tilt the retainer at the end of the cable and

pull it through the wheel opening. Pull the
tire out from under the vehicle.

Notice: If you drive away before the spare
tire or secondary latch system cable has been
reinstalled, you could damage your vehicle.
Always reinstall this cable before driving
your vehicle.

10. If the cable is hanging under the vehicle, turn

the wheel wrench in the hoist shaft hole in the
bumper clockwise to raise the cable back up.

Have the hoist assembly inspected as soon as
you can. You will not be able to store a spare or
flat tire using the hoist assembly until it has
been repaired or replaced.

To continue changing the flat tire, return to Step 4
of Removing the Flat Tire and Installing the
Spare Tire
on page 365.
