Removing the spare tire

Your spare tire is stored underneath the back of your vehicle, directly below the right sliding door.
To remove the spare tire:
-
Open the luggage floor cover and find the plastic hex bolt cover on the floor.
-
Remove the cover.

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

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