Removing
the
Spare
Tire
and
Tools
1
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 a 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 it
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.
