5. Securely store the flat tire and jacking equip-

ment in the vehicle.

6. Close the liftgate.

WARNING

Always make sure that the spare tire

and jacking equipment are properly se-
cured after use. Such items can become
dangerous projectiles in an accident or
sudden stop.

The spare tire is designed for emer-

gency use. See specific instructions un-
der the heading “Wheels and tires” in
the “Maintenance and do-it-yourself”
section of this manual.

When re-installing the spare tire under

the vehicle after use, be sure to secure
it with the tire stem facing down toward
the ground. If the spare tire is improp-
erly secured with the tire stem facing up
towards the bottom of the vehicle, there
is an increased risk of separating from
the vehicle in the event of crash which
may pose a hazard in traffic or risk of
injury to others.

To start your engine with a booster battery, the
instructions and precautions below must be fol-
lowed.

WARNING

If done incorrectly, jump starting can

lead to a battery explosion, resulting in
severe injury or death. It could also
damage your vehicle.

Explosive hydrogen gas is always pres-

ent in the vicinity of the battery. Keep all
sparks and flames away from the
battery.

Do not allow battery fluid to come into

contact with eyes, skin, clothing or
painted surfaces. Battery fluid is a cor-
rosive sulfuric acid solution which can
cause severe burns. If the fluid should
come into contact with anything, imme-
diately flush the contacted area with
water.

Keep battery out of the reach of

children.

The booster battery must be rated at

12 volts. Use of an improperly rated
battery can damage your vehicle.
