IN CASE OF EMERGENCY 205
Spare Tire Removal
The spare tire is stowed inside a protective
cover located under the center of the vehicle
between the front doors by means of a cable
winch mechanism. The “spare tire drive” nut is
located on the floor, under a plastic cap at the
front of the floor console or under front super
console forward bin liner.
Spare Tire Location
Spare Tire Removal Instructions
The spare tire is located under the vehicle
beneath the center console area.
Spare Tire And Cover
1. Assemble the spare tire tools into a
T-handle and place the square end over
the spare tire winch drive nut.
2. Rotate the nut to the left until the winch
mechanism stops turning freely. This will
allow enough slack in the cable to allow you
to pull the spare tire out from underneath
the vehicle.
3. To remove the compact spare tire/cover
assembly, assemble the winch T-handle
extensions to form a spare tire hook, and
pull the spare tire out from under the
vehicle.
Pulling Spare Tire
NOTE:
If either front tire is flat it may be necessary to
jack up the vehicle to remove the compact
spare tire/cover assembly from under the
vehicle.
CAUTION!
The winch mechanism is designed for use
with the winch T-handle only. Use of an air
wrench or other power tools is not
recommended and can damage the winch.
