Probably a simple question but how do you drop the spare wheel?
 






If you raise the liftgate, there should be a hole just above the bumper that your tire tool or jack handle will fit in. You turn it counter-clockwise to lower, and clockwise to raise it.

As above for the hole (liftgate=tailgate). Drop down the rear seat back, on the floor are 2 jack lever rods, you put 1 of them through the hole at a slight angle then attach the wheel wrench to the other end so you can turn it. The wheel wrench is attached to the inside of the jack access panel found at near side rear of load area, once down release the steel cable retainer.
