The tools for changing a flat tire are located in the passenger's side top-box storage unit.

To remove the tools, do the following:

1. Open the top door on the passenger's side top-box storage unit. Use the ignition/door key to unlock it if it is locked. See Top-Box Storage for more information.
2. Remove the black pouch from the storage box.

You now have all of the tools you will need to lower the spare tire and change a flat.

To access the spare tire:

1. 
   
   

   Spare Tire (Valve Stem Pointed Down)

2. Hoist Assembly

3. Hoist Cable

4. Tire/Wheel Retainer

5. Hoist Shaft

6. Hoist End of Extension Tool

7. Hoist Shaft Access Hole

8. Wheel Wrench

9. Jack Handle Extension(s)

10. Spare Tire Lock

1. Open the hoist shaft access cover on the bumper to access the spare tire lock (J).
2. To remove the spare tire lock, insert the ignition key, turn it clockwise and pull it straight out.



3. Assemble the two jack handle extensions (I) and wheel wrench (H) as shown.




Insert the open end of the extension (F) through the hole in the rear bumper (G) (hoist shaft access hole).

4. Be sure the hoist end (F) of the extension connects to the hoist shaft (E). The ribbed square end of the extension is used to lower the spare tire.

Do not use the chiseled end of the wheel wrench.

5. Turn the wheel wrench counterclockwise to lower the spare tire to the ground. Continue to turn the wheel wrench until the spare tire can be pulled out from under the vehicle.

If the spare tire does not lower to the ground, the secondary latch is engaged causing the tire not to lower. See Secondary Latch System for more information.





Use the wheel wrench hook that allows you to pull the hoist cable towards you, to assist in reaching the spare tire.






6. Tilt the tire with slack in the cable to access the tire/wheel retainer (D). Separate the retainer from the guide pin by sliding the retainer up the pin while pressing down on the latch. When the retainer is separated from the guide pin, tilt the retainer and pull it through the center of the wheel along with the cable and guide pin.
7. Put the spare tire near the flat tire.
