Getting Ready to Replace the Flat Tire

  1. Remove the floor mat under the second row seat and pull up the carpet. Remove the floor lid.
  2. Take the tool case out. Take the jack and wheel nut wrench out of the tool case.
  3. Unscrew the wing bolt, then remove the spacer cone. Remove the spare tire.
  4. Keep turning the wheel nut wrench to crate slack in the cable. Remove the bracket from the spare tire.
  5. Place the compact spare tire (wheel side up) under the vehicle body, near the tire that needs to be replaced.
  6. Loosen each wheel nut about one turn using the wheel nut wrench.
