 okay, so i'm too lazy to read the manual, but I just needa make sure is it pretty easy to get to the spare in the back? I got a nail in one of the rear tires and I'm just taking precautions right now, and I've never changed a tire in my life.

You can't learn me nothin...

 lol, do this:

1. Take spare tire up by turning the knobs in the hatch bottom and pull the jack out and the wrench out.

2. Losen the bolts on the flat tire BUT DO NOT TAKE OFF THE NUTS YET!

3. position the jack under the designated spot near the flat tire.

4. jack up your car.

5. finish removing the bolts from the tire.

6. remove tire and put the spare tire on.

7. put the bolts on and make sure the tire is strait on BUT DO NOT TIGHTEN THE BOLTS, JUST FINGER TIGHTIN IT!

8. lower the jack down slowly.

9. tighten the bolts now.

10. DRIVE SLOWLY! GET TIRE FIXED!

 First and foremost:


MAKE SURE YOUR E-BRAKE IS ON, YOU ARE IN GEAR AND YOU HAVE SOMETHING BLOCKING THE FRONT TIRES TO PREVENT THE CAR FROM SHIFTING.


When re-tightening the bolts, use a criss-cross pattern. It's assures proper seating of the tire.
