NOTE:
Assemble components 2 and 3 by seating the
small ball at the end of component 2 in the
small hole at the end of component 3. This will
lock these components together. Assemble
components 1 and 2 so that the wheel nut
socket at the end of component 1 faces upward
when seated on component 2. This will make it
easier to rotate the assembly when operating
the winch mechanism.
2. Fit the assembled jack-handle over the
winch drive nut located in the jack storage
area. Rotate the jack-handle assembly coun-
terclockwise until the spare tire is on the
ground with enough cable slack to allow you
to pull the spare tire out from underneath the
vehicle.
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.
3. Pull the spare tire out from underneath the
vehicle and raise it upright so the tire's tread
is on the ground.
4. Tilt the retainer at the end of the winch cable
and remove it from the center of the wheel.
Preparations For Jacking
1. Park the vehicle on a firm, level surface as
far from the edge of the roadway as possible.
Avoid icy or slippery areas.
WARNING!
Do not attempt to change a tire on the side of
the vehicle close to moving traffic. Pull far
enough off the road to avoid being hit when
operating the jack or changing the wheel.
2. Turn on the Hazard Warning flashers.
3. Apply the parking brake.
4. Place the gear selector in PARK.
5. Turn OFF the ignition.
6. Block both the front and rear of the wheel
diagonally opposite the jacking position. For
example, if the right front wheel is being
changed, block the left rear wheel.
Wheel Blocked
NOTE:
Passengers should not remain in the vehicle
when the vehicle is being jacked.
