Roadside Emergencies Removing the spare tire 1. Fold the rear seat down. Refer to Rear seats in the Seating and safety restraints chapter. 2. Remove the jack handle and winch extension from the tray and assemble them. 3. Open the spare tire winch access plug in the bottom of the compartment located behind the 3rd row seat, very close to the jack and tools tray. 4. Insert the winch extension tool assembly through the access hole in the floor and engage the winch. 5. To remove the spare tire, turn the handle counterclockwise until the tire is lowered to the ground and the cable is slightly slack. 6. Slide the retainer through the center of the spare tire wheel. Tire change procedure To help prevent the vehicle from moving when you change a tire, be sure the parking brake is set, then block (in both directions) the wheel that is diagonally opposite (other side and end of the vehicle) to the tire being changed. If the vehicle slips off the jack, you or someone else could be seriously injured. On vehicles equipped with Air Suspension, turn OFF the Air Suspension switch prior to jacking, hoisting or towing your vehicle. If your vehicle is equipped with air suspension, refer to Air suspension (if equipped) in the Driving chapter for instructions on how to turn the system off. Refer to the instruction sheet (located in the rear floor compartment behind the 3rd row seat with the jack tray tools assembly kit) for detailed tire change instructions. 289 2006 Expedition (exd) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
