Removing and storing the spare tyre (for 7 seats)

Your spare tyre is stored underneath your vehicle, directly below the cargo area.
Removing the spare tyre
-
Open the tailgate and fold the 3rd row seat upright.
-
Remove the cover.

-
Use the tool to loosen the bolt enough to lower the spare tyre. Turn the tool counterclockwise until the spare tyre reaches the ground.

-
After the spare tyre reaches the ground, continue to turn the tool counterclockwise, and draw the spare tyre outside. Never rotate the tool excessively, otherwise the spare tyre carrier may be damaged.
-
Remove the retainer from the centre of spare tyre.
Storing the spare tyre

-
Lay the tyre on the ground with the valve stem facing down.
-
Place the wheel under the vehicle and install the retainer through the wheel centre.
-
Turn the tool clockwise until it clicks.

Ensure the spare tyre retainer is properly aligned with the centre of the spare tyre to prevent the spare tyre from "rattling".
Otherwise, it may cause the spare tyre to fall off the carrier and lead to an accident.
