Stowing the spare tire

1. Lay the tire on the ground, near the rear of the vehicle, with the valve
stem side facing up.

2. Install the retainer through the
wheel center.

3. Using the jack handle and winch
extension tools, turn the jack handle
clockwise until the tire winch
“overrides.”

Note: The wrench will become
harder to turn until the winch
“overrides.” You will hear a
clicking sound from the winch
when the tire is properly stowed.
The wrench will then become
easier to turn. The winch handle
ratchets (clicks) when the tire is
raised to the stowed position. It
will not allow you to overtighten.

4. Remove the tools from the winch and reinstall the access plug.
Disassemble the tools and snap them back into the tool tray. Reinstall
the tray into the vehicle and secure it with the wing nut by turning the
wing nut until tight.

JUMP STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

The gases around the battery can explode if exposed to flames,
sparks, or lit cigarettes. An explosion could result in injury or

vehicle damage.

Batteries contain sulfuric acid which can burn skin, eyes, and
clothing, if contacted.

Do not attempt to push-start your vehicle. Automatic
transmissions do not have push-start capability; also, the
catalytic converter may become damaged.
