Removing the Spare Tire and Tools
The equipment you will need is located in the trunk.
1. Open the trunk. See Trunk on page 106 for
more information.
2. Lift the handle on the spare tire cover. The
handle can hook on the front edge of the
trunk’s weatherstrip to hold the cover out of
the way.
3. Turn the wing nut counterclockwise and
remove it. Then remove the compact
spare tire. See Compact Spare Tire on
page 381 for more information.
4. Remove the wing nut holding the jack
in place.
5. Remove the extension bolt that is clipped
to the jack. You need this later to store the
flat tire.
6. Remove the jack and wheel wrench from
the trunk.
The tools you will be using include the wheel
wrench (A) and jack (B).
