WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES Spare Tire Removal Instructions • The spare tire is located under the vehicle beneath the center console area. 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. Assemble the winch handle extensions to form the spare tire hook, and pull the spare tire from under the vehicle. 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. 4. Stand the tire/cover assembly upright and remove the wheel spacer by squeezing the winch retaining tabs together. Push the retainer through the spare tire to release it from the wheel. Preparations For Jacking 1. Park the vehicle on a firm, level surface. Avoid ice or slippery areas. 2. Turn on the Hazard Warning flasher. 3. Set the parking brake. 4. Place the shift lever into PARK. 5. Turn OFF the ignition. 90
