Wheels and Tires

Installing the Spare Tire

2. Slide the wheel partially under the vehicle and install the retainer through the wheel center. If equipped, you may have to remove the wheel center cap prior to pushing the retainer through the center of the wheel. To remove the center cap, press it off with the jack tool from the inner side of the wheel. Pull on the cable to align the components at the end of the cable. 3. Using the swivel wrench, insert it through the access hole behind the third row seat and engage the winch. 4. Turn the swivel wrench clockwise until the tire is raised to its stowed position underneath the vehicle. The wrench will become harder to turn and the spare tire winch will ratchet or slip when the tire is raised to maximum tightness. A clicking sound will be heard from the winch indicating that the tire is properly stowed. 5. Carefully place all tools back into the tool kit bag. 6. Reinstall the tool kit bag on the jack and tighten the straps.
