6. Lower the jack by turning the wheel wrench
counterclockwise. Keep lowering the jack until
the spare tire slides off the jack or is hanging
by the cable.
7. Disconnect the jack handle from the jack and
carefully remove the jack. Use one hand to push
against the spare while firmly pulling the jack out
from under the spare tire with the other hand.
If the spare tire is hanging from the cable, assembly
the wheel wrench onto the hoist extension and
insert the chisel end of the hoist extension into the
hoist shaft hole above the bumper. Turn the
wheel wrench counterclockwise to lower the spare
the rest of the way.
8. Tilt the retainer at the end of the cable and pull it
through the wheel opening. Pull the tire out from
under the vehicle.
Notice:If you drive away before the spare tire or
secondary latch system cable has been reinstalled,
you could damage your vehicle. Always reinstall
this cable before driving your vehicle.
9. If the cable is hanging under the vehicle, turn the
wheel wrench in the hoist shaft hole in the bumper
clockwise to raise the cable back up.Have the hoist assembly inspected as soon as you can.
You will not be able to store a spare or flat tire using
the hoist assembly until it has been repaired or replaced.
To continue changing the flat tire, return to Step 4 of
Removing the Flat Tire and Installing the Spare Tire on
page 6-85.

equipment could strike someone. Store all these in
the proper place.
1. Put the tire on the ground at the rear of the vehicle
with the valve stem pointed down.

Spare Tire
This vehicle, when new, may have had a fully-inflated
spare tire. A spare tire may lose air over time, so check
its inflation pressure regularly. SeeInation - Tire
Pressure on page 6-63andLoading the Vehicle on
page 5-17for information regarding proper tire inflation
and loading the vehicle. For instruction on how to
remove, install or store a spare tire, seeRemoving the
Flat Tire and Installing the Spare Tire on page 6-85
andStoring a Flat or Spare Tire and Tools on page 6-94.
After installing the spare tire on the vehicle, you
should stop as soon as possible and make sure the
spare is correctly inflated. The spare tire is made
to perform well at speeds up to 70 mph (112 km/h) at
the recommended inflation pressure, so you can
finish your trip.
Have the damaged or flat road tire repaired or replaced
as soon as you can and installed back onto the
vehicle. This way, a spare tire will be available in case
you need it again. Do not mix tires and wheels of
different sizes, because they will not fit. Keep the spare
tire and its wheel together.
Appearance Care
Interior Cleaning
The vehicle’s interior will continue to look its best if it is
cleaned often. Although not always visible, dust and
dirt can accumulate on the upholstery. Dirt can damage
carpet, fabric, leather, and plastic surfaces. Regular
vacuuming is recommended to remove particles from the
upholstery. It is important to keep the upholstery from
becoming and remaining heavily soiled. Soils should be
removed as quickly as possible. The vehicle’s interior
may experience extremes of heat that could cause
stains to set rapidly.
Lighter colored interiors may require more frequent
cleaning. Use care because newspapers and garments
that transfer color to home furnishings may also
transfer color to the vehicle’s interior.
When cleaning the vehicle’s interior, only use cleaners
specifically designed for the surfaces being cleaned.
Permanent damage may result from using cleaners on
surfaces for which they were not intended. Use glass
cleaner only on glass. Remove any accidental over-spray
from other surfaces immediately. To prevent over-spray,
apply cleaner directly to the cleaning cloth.
