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 firmly 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.
