10. Push out the small center cap using the jack tool from inside the aluminum road
wheel and position the wheel behind the rear bumper with the "beauty side" facing
rearward.
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 turn 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.
Do not use power tools to winch the tire up or down. Impact-type tools may damage the
winch mechanism.
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 Velcro straps 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 clockwise 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.
