1. Open the spare tire hoist access hole cover on the bumper and use the ignition key to remove the spare tire lock. To remove the spare tire lock, insert the ignition key, turn it clockwise and pull the lock straight out.



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




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

3. Be sure the hoist end of the extension connects to the hoist shaft (E). The ribbed square end of the extension is used to lower the spare tire.
4. Turn the wheel wrench (H) 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.





Use the wheel wrench which has a hook that lets you pull the hoist cable toward you to assist in reaching the spare tire.





Tilt the tire toward the vehicle with some slack in the cable to allow access to 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.





Once the retainer is separated from the pin, tilt the retainer and pull it through the center of the wheel along with the cable and latch.

5. Put the spare tire near the flat tire.
