The steps to correctly fit the spare wheel in an emergency are quite simple and take only a few minutes to complete. First, open the rear tailgate, lift the plastic cover, and access the repair kit provided by Jeep in all its vehicles.

Close the tailgate and unscrew all the screws holding the spare wheel in place using the appropriate key. Pull it towards you and place it on the ground next to the wheel to be replaced. Now, lift the vehicle with a suitable jack and unscrew the bolts of the wheel rim to be removed.

Remove the wheel and replace it with the spare. Finally, reattach all the screws and lower the vehicle.
