Removing the Spare Tire and Tools
The equipment you will need is in the trunk or
cargo area.
1. Open the trunk for sedan models. See Trunk
(Sedan) on page 112 for more information.
For MAXX models, open the liftgate. See
Liftgate (MAXX) on page 113.
2. For the sedan, lift the handle on the spare tire
cover. The handle may hook on the trunk
front edge weatherstrip to hold the cover out
of the way. For the MAXX, lift the handle
to release the latch on the spare tire cover.
3. For the MAXX, lift and remove the cover.
4. Turn the wing nut counterclockwise and
remove it. Then remove the compact
spare tire. See Compact Spare Tire on
page 435 for more information.
5. Remove the wing nut holding the jack
in place.
6. Remove the extension bolt (MAXX models
and Sedan SS only) that is clipped to the
jack. You will need this later to store the
flat tire.
7. Remove the jack and wheel wrench from the
trunk or cargo area.
