Removing and storing the spare tyre

Turn the tyre hold-down wing bolt counterclockwise.

Store the tyre in the reverse order of removal.

To prevent the spare tyre and tools from “rattling” whilst the vehicle is in motion, store them properly.

If it is hard to loosen the tyre holddown wing bolt by hand, you can loosen it easily using the jack handle.

  1. Put the jack handle (1) inside of the tyre hold-down wing bolt.

  2. Turn the tyre hold-down wing bolt counterclockwise with the jack handle.

CAUTION

Turn the engine off and wait until it cools down, or luggage room floor surface may be hot. Wear gloves when removing the spare tyre from the luggage room.
