Removing

the

Spare Tire and

Tools

The equipment you’ll need is in the right (passenger)

rear area behind the trim panel.

First

you

must remove the close-out panel. See

“Close-Out Panel” in the Index.

Find the plastic screw heads in the trim panel over the

spare tire. Use

coin or a key to turn the screw heads

until the slots point front and back to the unlock

position. Gently lift the trim panel front forward edge

and move

out of the

way.

Remove the wing nut and adapter and pull out the spare.

See “Compact Spare Tire’’ later in

this

section for more

information about the compact spare.
