IN CASE OF EMERGENCY 235
TO STOW THE FLAT OR SPARE
1. Turn the wheel so that the valve stem is facing
upward and toward the rear of the vehicle for
convenience in checking the spare tire inflation.
Slide the wheel retainer through the center of the
wheel.
2. Lift the spare tire with one hand to give clearance to
tilt the retainer at the end of the cable and position it
properly across the wheel opening.
Reinstalling The Retainer
3. Attach the lug wrench to the extension tubes with the
curved angle facing away from the vehicle. Insert the
extension tubes through the access hole between the
lower tailgate and the top of the bumper and into the
winch mechanism tube.
Reinstalling The Flat Or Spare Tire
4. Rotate the lug wrench handle clockwise until the
wheel is drawn into place against the underside of
the vehicle. Continue to rotate until you feel the winch
mechanism slip, or click three or four times. It cannot
be overtightened. Push against the tire several times
to ensure it is firmly in place.
Rotating The Lug Wrench Handle
NOTE:
The winch mechanism is designed for use with the
extension tube only. Use of an air wrench or other power
tools is not recommended and can damage the winch.
WARNING!
A loose tire or jack thrown forward in a collision or hard
stop could endanger the occupants of the vehicle.
Always stow the jack parts and the spare tire in the
places provided. Have the deflated (flat) tire repaired or
replaced immediately.
