WARNING!

A loose tire or jack, thrown forward in a collision or
hard stop could endanger the occupants of the ve-
hicle. Always stow the jack parts and the spare tire in
the places provided.

11. Secure the tire, jack, and tools in their proper loca-
tions.

NOTE:

Tire should be stowed with the “beauty” side

up. Storing the tire upside down may result in scratching
or damage to the wheel face. Continue winching up the
tire until you hear the winch “ratchet” three times.
Double check to ensure the tire is snug against the
underbody of the vehicle. Damage to the winch cable
may result if the vehicle is driven with the tire loose.

WARNING!

Do not use power tools to winch the tire up or down.
Impact type tools may damage the winch mecha-
nism.

12. Reinstall the plastic plug into the floor of the cargo
area.
