The spare tire is stowed under the rear of the

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 in-
side 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.

sion to completely lower the spare tire. Keep
