Spare tire??

[blitt]

Doing my homework....reading the online version of the owners' manual before I get the car! That being said...... Section 6, pg.17 says this about the location of the spare:
"Your spare tire is stored underneath the back of your vehicle, directly below the right sliding door." HUH? Sounds to me like they are talking about a van??? Just curious where is the spare and how do you access it? Thanks....

Howdy,
Really?
Open the lift gate
lift the little handle latch
lift out the bottom panel
you have found the spare tire.

Here is a picture

Best looking colors

My preference: 1) Dark Moss 2) Everlasting Silver 3) Sangria -> which is what I got Sangria is very understated and looks and is premium. It's also a very unique colour which is a huge plus. That's why I went with Sangria. All 3 colors you mentioned are pretty unusual and they all stand out...

For the SX (and I can't imagine other trim levels are different) - open the rear hatch, open the underfloor storage compartment, then the rest of the instructions on 6-17 and 6-18 are correct.

Just strike the "directly below the right sliding door" from the sentence.

You'll also notice many of the illustrations are incomplete in the owners manual...

Thanks.....that's what I figured, I wonder if the "incomplete illustrations" are just an issue with the electronic copy? All will be answered when mine arrives!

How do you actually open the compartment to get to the spare tire? I tried the latch and I could not pull it open. Where are the wheel locks located?
Thanks,

The tools should be on the luggage storage compartment on the left side of the trunk.



After you lift the larger luggage floor cover in the middle of the trunk there is supposed to be a plastic bolt cover. In the manual it just says to remove this cover and use the provided tools to lower the spare tire turning counterclockwise. It doesn’t specify how to remove the plastic bolt cover.

If you don’t own the US model it may also be worth checking below the car to see if your version comes with a spare tire. Not all international models do.
