The spare wheel is located under the floor of the rear cargo compartment. It can be lowered using the crank (see previous page for location).

2. Fold up the rear section of the floor in the
cargo compartment.
3. Connect the two sections of the jack's
crank.
4. Insert the hooked end of the crank in the
spare wheel retaining attachment.
5. Lower the spare wheel under the vehicle by
turning the crank counterclockwise until it
is not possible to turn it further.
6. Pivot the toggle at the end of the cable 90
degrees to release it from the spare wheel
CAUTION
When the spare wheel is mounted on the
vehicle, the retaining cable could damage
the underside of the vehicle if it is not retracted.

crank clockwise.
8. Place the wheel with the flat tire in the vehicle's
cargo compartment.
