382 IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
NOTE:
Have the flat tire repaired or replaced immedi-
ately.
1. Turn the wheel so that the valve stem is
facing the ground 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.
Reinstalling The Retainer
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.
Pushing The Retainer Through The Center Of The Wheel
And Positioning It
3. Attach the lug wrench to the extension
tubes with the curved angle facing away
from the vehicle. Insert the extensions
through the access hole between the lower
tailgate and the top of the fascia/bumper
and into the winch mechanism tube.
Lug Wrench And Extension Tubes Assembled And In
Position
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.
NOTE:
The winch mechanism is designed for use with
the jack extension tube only. Use of an air
wrench or other power tools is not recom-
mended and can damage the winch.
