Spare Tire and Tools
In the event of a flat tire, please follow all the advance preparations and safety precautions in your Owner's Manual.
To access your jack and tools, lift the handle on the cargo area floor board and open. Remove the tool kit by unfastening the straps. You'll find the jack secured in a holder. Turn the jack screw counterclockwise a few turns. This will release some tension on the jack so you can remove it.
To release the spare tire, first assemble the jack tools. Place the square end of the t-shaped rod into the end of the connecting rod. Then fit the square end of the connecting rod into the square hole of this wheel nut wrench to form a handle.
With your tools at hand, raise your liftgate and find this oval shaped opening just above the middle of the back bumper. Insert the T-shaped end of your jack rod in the opening until it reaches the spare tire winch, directly above the spare tire. Slip the T-shaped end of the jack rod into the T-shaped opening of the tire winch. Apply pressure and turn the jack rod counterclockwise. You'll see the spare tire begin to lower. Once it is fully lowered to the ground, reach under the vehicle and remove the retainer chain. Then carefully slide the tire from under the vehicle.
Your Owner's Manual has explicit instructions and diagrams to help you safely proceed. You'll also find further instructions on the label attached to your jack body. Proceed with caution when jacking up your vehicle, removing the flat tire and installing the spare tire.
