JACKING AND TIRE CHANGING
Jack Location
• The scissor-type jack and tire changing tools are located in the cargo
compartment behind a trim cover on the left rear trim panel. The latch is
located at the bottom of the trim cover.
Spare Tire Stowage
• The spare tire is stowed
underneath the rear of the vehicle
and is held in place by a cable
winch mechanism.
Spare Tire Removal
• Fit the jack handle extension over the drive nut located in the rear cargo
area inside the vehicle. Use the lug wrench to rotate the nut
counterclockwise until the spare is on the ground with enough slack in
the cable to allow you to pull the tire out from under the vehicle.
• When the spare is clear, tilt the
retainer at the end of the cable,
and pull it through the center of
the wheel.
