handle extension into the rear
access hole located just above the
rear bumper and below the tailgate.

Changing the spare tire
WARNING:
When one of the rear wheels is off the ground, the
transmission alone will not prevent the vehicle from moving or
slipping off the jack, even if the transmission is in P (Park).
WARNING:
To help prevent the vehicle from moving when you
change a tire, be sure the parking brake is set, then block the
wheel that is diagonally opposite (other end of the vehicle) to the tire
being changed.
WARNING:
If the vehicle slips off the jack, you or someone else
could be seriously injured.
