Installing the Spare Tire
1. Replace the flat tire with the spare tire,
making sure the valve stem is facing
outward.
2. Reinstall the lug nuts until the wheel is
snug against the hub. Do not fully tighten
the lug nuts until the wheel has been
lowered.
3. Lower the wheel by turning the jack
handle counterclockwise.

Stowing the Flat or Spare Tire
1. Lay the tire on the ground, near the rear
of the vehicle, with the valve stem side
facing up.
2. Slide the wheel partially under the
vehicle and install the retainer through
the wheel center. If equipped, you may
have to remove the wheel center cap
prior to pushing the retainer through the
center of the wheel. To remove the
center cap, press it off with the jack tool
from the inner side of the wheel. Pull on
the cable to align the components at the
end of the cable.
3. Assemble the jack handle and winch
extension, then insert the winch
extension through the access hole
behind the third row seat and engage
the winch.
4. Turn the jack handle clockwise until the
tire is raised to its stowed position
underneath the vehicle. The wrench will
become harder to turn and the spare tire
winch will rachet or slip when the tire is
raised to maximum tightness. A clicking
sound will be heard from the winch
indicating that the tire is properly stowed.
5. Disassembly the jack tool and winch
extension and snap them back into the
tool tray.
6. Reinstall the jack bag properly around
the jack and tool assembly tray, making
sure the strap is fastened.
7. Close the access hole with the rubber
plug.
8. Reinstall the tray into the vehicle and
secure it with the wing nut.
