Spare Tire Stowage
NOTE:
Refer to "Spare Tire Removal" for information on assembling the winch tools.
1. Place the spare tire near to the winch cable. Hold the spare upright so that the tire's
tread is on the ground and the valve stem is at the top of the wheel facing away from
the rear of the vehicle.
2. Tilt the retainer at the end of the winch cable and drop it through the center of the
wheel. Then place the spare tire with the cable and retainer underneath the vehicle.
3. Fit the assembled jack-handle over the winch drive nut. Rotate the jack-handle assembly
clockwise to raise the spare tire into the storage area. Continue to rotate the jack-handle
assembly until you hear the winch mechanism click three times. It cannot be over
tightened. Push against the tire several times to be sure it is held securely in place.
Jacking Instructions
1. Remove the spare tire, jack, and jack-
handle from stowage.
2. Loosen, but do not remove, the wheel nuts on the wheel with the flat tire. Turn the
wheel nuts counterclockwise one turn while the wheel is still on the ground.
