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.
13. Lower the jack to the fully closed position.
Return the tools to the proper positions in
the tool bag. Fold the flap on the tool bag
under the tools and roll the tools in the bag
underneath the others. Use the hook and
loop fasteners to secure the tool bag to the
jack with the lug wrench on the forward
side of the jack. Expand the jack on the
bracket by turning the thumb screw clock-
wise until it is tight to prevent rattles.
14. Reinstall the plastic plug into the floor of
the cargo area. Roll up and store the Jack,
Tool Kit and Tire Changing Instructions.
Reinstall the cover for the jack in the rear
storage bin.
15. Have the aluminum road wheel and tire
repaired as soon as possible and properly
secure the spare tire, jack and tool kit.
WARNING!
A loose tire or jack thrown forward in a colli-
sion or hard stop, could endanger the occu-
pants of the vehicle. Always stow the jack
parts and the spare tire in the places pro-
vided.
