and/or your vehicle. Always remove or restow a tire
when the vehicle is on the ground.

45 degree angle downward into the hoist drive shaft
hole. It is exposed when the rear gate is open

hoist shaft.2. Turn the wheel wrench counterclockwise to lower
the spare tire. Keep turning the wheel wrench until
the spare tire can be pulled out from under the

If the spare tire does not lower to the ground, the
secondary latch is engaged causing the tire
not to lower. SeeSecondary Latch System on
page 5-80for more information.
3. Tilt the retainer at the end of the cable when the
tire has been completely lowered, and pull it
through the wheel opening. Pull the tire out from
under the vehicle.

Spare Tire
Your vehicle, when new, had a fully-inated spare tire.
A spare tire may lose air over time, so check its
ination pressure regularly. SeeInation - Tire Pressure
on page 5-61andLoading Your Vehicle on page 4-43
for information regarding proper tire ination and loading
your vehicle. For instruction on how to remove, install
or store a spare tire, seeRemoving the Flat Tire
and Installing the Spare Tire on page 5-75andStoring
a Flat or Spare Tire and Tools on page 5-83.
After installing the spare tire on your vehicle, you should
stop as soon as possible and make sure the spare is
correctly inated. Have the damaged or at road
tire repaired or replaced as soon as you can and
installed back onto your vehicle. This way, a spare tire
will be available in case you need it again.
