Handling spare tires
Follow these instructions regarding handling the spare wheel.
The spare wheel is located in the spare wheel well with the outside of the wheel facing downward. The same bolt runs through both the spare wheel and foam block to hold them into place. The foam block contains all tools needed to change a wheel.
Lift the rear edge of the cargo compartment floor.
Unscrew the retaining bolt.
Lift out the foam block containing the tools.
Lift out the spare wheel.
Stowing a flat tire
Replace the flat tire in the spare tire well.
Return the tools to their correct positions in the foam block and put the foam block back in the vehicle.
Screw down the foam block with the retaining bolt and lower the cargo compartment floor.
Note
If the retaining bolt becomes dislodged from its lower attachment point in the body under the spare tire, replace it in the hole and turn clockwise to secure it again.
Put the flat tire in the trunk/cargo compartment.
