8. Grasp the spare tire with both hands and pull it out

from under the vehicle.

9. Reach under the vehicle and remove the folding

wrench and jack.

10. When the spare tire has been completely lowered,

tilt the retainer and slip it through the wheel
opening.

11. If the cable is hanging, turn the wrench clockwise to

raise the cable back up.

Have the hoist assembly inspected as soon as you can.
You will not be able to store a spare tire using the
hoist assembly until it has been repaired or replaced.

Removing the Flat Tire and Installing
the Spare Tire

1. If there is a wheel cover, loosen the plastic nut

caps with the wheel wrench. They won’t come
off. Then, using the flat end of the wheel wrench,
pry along the edge of the cover until it comes off. Be
careful; the edges may be sharp. Don’t try to
remove the cover with your bare hands.

If your vehicle has aluminum wheels, remove the
wheel nut caps using the wheel wrench.

2. Loosen the wheel

nuts - but do not remove
them - using the
folding wrench. (Turn the
handle about
180 degrees, then flip the
handle back to the
starting position. This
avoids taking the wrench
off the lug nut for
each turn.)

For wheels with a wheel lock key, use the wheel
lock key between the lock nut and folding wrench.
The key is supplied in the front passenger door
pocket.
