Spare Tire Stowage
The spare tire is stowed under the rear of the vehicle by
means of a cable winch mechanism. To remove or stow the
spare, use the jack handle/lug wrench connected to the
square socket extension to rotate the “spare tire drive” nut.
The nut is located under a plastic cover at the center-rear of
the cargo floor area, just inside the liftgate opening.
CAUTION!
The winch mechanism is designed for use with the
jack wrench extension tool only. Use of air wrench or
power tool may damage the winch.
Spare Tire Removal
1. Remove the jack tools from the bag.
2. Raise the rubber mat and remove the plug from storage
compartment floor.
