CAUTION!
Be sure to mount the spare tire with the valve
stem facing outward. The vehicle could be
damaged if the spare tire is mounted incor-
rectly.
8. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw
counterclockwise, and remove the jack and
wheel blocks.
9. Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on
the wrench while at the end of the handle for
increased leverage. Tighten the lug nuts in a
star pattern until each nut has been tight-
ened twice. Refer to “Torque Specifications”
in “Technical Specifications” for proper lug
nut torque. If in doubt about the correct
tightness, have them checked with a torque
wrench by an authorized dealer or at a ser -
vice station.
10. Push out the small center cap using the
jack tool from inside the aluminum road
wheel and position the wheel behind the
rear bumper with the protective plate fac-
ing outward.
NOTE:
The plastic plate will prevent the road wheel
from being scratched when sliding it under
the vehicle.
11. Insert the two long tubes on the plastic
protective plate in the lug holes of the road
wheel. Push the end of the winch’ s cable,
spring, steel sleeve and stamped cone
shape wheel plate though the road wheel
and protective plate.
12. Slide the road wheel on the ground using
the protective plate until it is directly under
the winch and between the rear bumper
and exhaust system heat shields. Raise the
tire by turning the lug wrench on the winch
extension clockwise until it clicks/ratchets
three times to make sure the cable is tight.
NOTE:
Double check to ensure the tire is snug
against the underbody of the vehicle. Dam-
age to the winch cable may result if the
vehicle is driven with the tire loose.
CAUTION!
The winch mechanism is designed for use with
the jack wrench extension tool only . Use of air
wrench or power tool may damage the winch.
