3. Tilt the retainer at the end of the cable to remove
the compact spare tire, so it can be pulled up
through the wheel opening.
If your vehicle is an AWD vehicle, after removing
the compact spare tire, turn the wrench clockwise to
raise the cable back up. On an AWD vehicle, you
can not store a full-size tire under the vehicle.
It should be stowed inside the vehicle by the cable
provided. See “Storing the Flat Tire on an
All-Wheel-Drive Vehicle” underStoring a Flat or
Spare Tire and Tools on page 5-80for more
information.If you have a front-wheel-drive vehicle, the hoist is
used to store a full-size or a at road tire under
the vehicle. See “Storing the Flat Tire on an
Front-Wheel-Drive Vehicle” underStoring a Flat or
Spare Tire and Tools on page 5-80for more
information.
4. Remove the compact spare tire from the cable.
If the compact spare tire will not lower, check under the
vehicle to see if the tire is hanging loose and the
cable end and spring under the wheel plate are missing.
If so, the secondary latch system is engaged. See
Secondary Latch System on page 5-78.
To continue changing the at tire, seeRemoving the
Flat Tire and Installing the Spare Tire on page 5-72.

Removing the Flat Tire and
Installing the Spare Tire
If the wheel has a center cap, use the handle of the
folding wrench to pry it off. Then, with the other end of
the folding wrench, loosen the nuts.
If your vehicle has the plastic bolt-on wheel covers,
loosen the bolts completely using the folding wrench,
and remove the wheel cover.Once the center cap and/or wheel cover are removed,
use the following steps to remove the at tire and install
the spare tire.
1. Loosen the wheel nuts
using the folding
wrench, but do not
remove them. Turn the
handle
counterclockwise about
180 degrees, then
ip the handle back to
the starting position.
This avoids taking
the wrench off the lug
nut for each turn.
Notice:If your vehicle has wheel locks and you
use an impact wrench to remove the wheel nuts, you
could damage the lock nut or wheel lock key. Do
not use an impact wrench to remove the wheel nuts
if your vehicle has wheel locks.
Notice:If you use a jack to raise the vehicle
without positioning it correctly, you could damage
your vehicle. When raising your vehicle on a
jack, avoid contact with the rear axle control arms.

5. Attach the folding wrench (A) to the jack (B), and
turn the wrench clockwise to raise the jack head
approximately 3 inches (7.6 cm).6. Raise the vehicle by turning the folding wrench
clockwise in the jack. Raise the vehicle far enough
off the ground so there is enough room for the
compact spare tire to t under the wheel well.
5-74

9. Install the compact spare tire and put the wheel
nuts back on with the rounded end of the nuts
toward the wheel. Tighten each nut by hand until
the wheel is held against the hub.10. Lower the vehicle by attaching the folding wheel
wrench to the jack and turning the wrench
counterclockwise. Lower the jack completely.
5-76

To release the spare tire from the secondary latch, do
the following:
1. Place the jack under the vehicle, ahead of the rear
bumper. Position the center lift point of the jack
under the center of the compact spare tire.
2. Turn the folding wrench clockwise to raise the jack
until it lifts the secondary latch device under the
wheel plate.
3. Keep raising the jack until the compact spare tire
stops moving upward and is held rmly in place.
This lets you know that the secondary latch
has released.4. Lower the jack by turning the folding wrench
counterclockwise. Keep lowering the jack until
the compact spare tire is resting on the folding
wrench.
5. Grasp the compact spare tire with both hands and
pull it out from under the vehicle.
6. Reach under the vehicle and remove the folding
wrench and jack.
Have the hoist assembly inspected as soon as you can.
You will not be able to store a spare or at tire using
the hoist assembly until it has been repaired or replaced.

Electrical System
Add-On Electrical Equipment
Notice:Don’t add anything electrical to your
vehicle unless you check with your dealer rst.
Some electrical equipment can damage your vehicle
and the damage wouldn’t be covered by your
warranty. Some add-on electrical equipment can
keep other components from working as they
should.
Your vehicle has an airbag system. Before attempting to
add anything electrical to your vehicle, seeServicing
Your Airbag-Equipped Vehicle on page 1-85.
Headlamp Wiring
The headlamp wiring is protected by four internal fuses
in the underhood fuse block. An electrical overload
will cause the lamps to go on and off, or in some cases
to remain off. If this happens, have your headlamp
wiring checked right away.
Windshield Wiper Fuses
The windshield wiper motor is protected by an internal
fuse in the underhood fuse block. If the motor overheats
due to heavy snow, etc., the wiper will stop until the
motor cools. If the overload is caused by some electrical
problem, be sure to get it xed.
The rear washer pump is controlled by a relay located
in the engine compartment, behind the windshield
washer uid reservoir. The rear wiper motor is protected
by a fuse located in the instrument panel fuse block.
Power Windows and Other
Power Options
Circuit breakers in the instrument panel fuse panel
protect the power windows and other power accessories.
When the current load is too heavy, the circuit breaker
opens and closes, protecting the circuit until the
problem is xed.
5-95

Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
short circuits by a combination of fuses, circuit breakers,
and fusible thermal links.
Look at the silver-colored band inside the fuse. If the
band is broken or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure you
replace a bad fuse with a new one of the identical
size and rating.
If you ever have a problem on the road and do not have
a spare fuse, you can borrow one that has the same
amperage or use one of the spare fuses in the
underhood fuse block. Just pick some feature of your
vehicle that you can get along without – like the radio or
cigarette lighter – and use its fuse, if it is the right
amperage. Replace it as soon as you can.
There are two fuse blocks in your vehicle, the instrument
panel fuse block and the underhood fuse block.
Instrument Panel Fuse Block
The instrument panel fuse block is located under the
instrument panel on the passenger’s side of the vehicle.
Your vehicle may not have all of the fuses listed.
