I can see the spare tire on the 2005 Toyota Sienna but how do I access it?
On my 2004 toyota,,,directly behind the passenger side front seat (have to push passenger seat all the way forward to see it, there is a small square flap in the carpet,,,lift that up and underneath is a big bolt which you turn counterclock wise with your spare tire lug wrench and the tire will lower to the ground. thats about it. good luck
On my 2005 Sienna FWD, the carpet flap and nut are precisely between your feet as you sit in the middle row, right side. They are NOT direcctly above where the tire is stored, as I was incorrectly advised by Toyota. It's a pulley system, and loosening the bolt will lower the spare.
On my 2001 Sienna, there is a small flap of carpet in the rear luggage area - underneath this is a nut you can turn with the lug wrench, this lowers the tire using a pulley & wire system, Once the tire is on the ground, you can release the wire easily.
Pretty neat system - don't see why they would change it from year to year,
Same on the 2004 XLE, couldnt find it for the life of me.
@John Pastore, I was stranded on my way from a trip on a lonely road and thank goodness there was Internet in the place I parked. I look for away to access the spare but I couldn't then your post help me out.
