Ú page 232.

9. Stow the damaged wheel/spare tire with the
cable and wheel spacer before driving the
vehicle.
10. Install the winch extension and
rotate the
wrench handle clockwise until the winch
mechanism operator hears “3 clicks” from the
device to indicate the wheel is properly stowed
under the vehicle.
11. Stow the jack, jack handle and winch handle
tools back in the storage compartment.
12. Check the spare tire pressure as soon as
possible. Correct the tire pressure, as
required.
For vehicles with aluminum wheels:
The center cap must be pushed out from the rear
to install the retainer and stow the tire.
WHEEL COVERS
The wheel covers on the vehicle are held in place
by the wheel lug bolts and can be removed after
the wheel lug bolts are taken off.
TIRE SERVICE KIT — IF EQUIPPED
Small punctures up to 1/4 inch (6 mm) in the tire
tread can be sealed with Tire Service Kit. Foreign
objects (e.g., screws or nails) should not be
removed from the tire. Tire Service Kit can be used
in outside temperatures down to approximately
-4°F (-20°C).
This kit will provide a temporary tire seal, allowing
you to drive your vehicle up to 100 miles (160 km)
with a maximum speed of 50 mph (80 km/h).
WARNING!
To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the
jack, do not tighten the wheel nuts fully until the
vehicle has been lowered. Failure to follow this
warning may result in serious injury.
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 incorrectly.
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.
CAUTION!
Use a back-and-forth motion to remove the hub
cap. Do not use a twisting motion when
removing the hub cap, damage to the hub cap
finish may occur.
