used to store a full-size or a flat road tire under
the vehicle. See “Storing the Flat Tire on an
Front-Wheel-Drive Vehicle” under Storing a Flat or

Secondary Latch System on page 5-81.
To continue changing the flat tire, see Removing the
Flat Tire and Installing the Spare Tire on page 5-75.

loosen the bolts completely using the folding wrench,
and remove the wheel cover.
