9. Lower the jack to its fully-closed position.
A loose tire or jack thrown forward in a collision or hard stop could endanger the
occupants of the vehicle. Always stow the jack parts and the spare tire in the places
provided. Have the deflated (flat) tire repaired or replaced immediately.
10. Place the deflated (flat) tire and compact spare tire cover assembly in the rear cargo
area. Do not stow the deflated tire in the compact spare tire location. Have the
full-sized tire repaired or replaced, as soon as possible.
11. Stow the cable and wheel spacer before driving the vehicle. Reassemble the winch
handle extensions to form a "T" and fit the winch T-handle over the drive nut. Rotate
the nut to the right until the winch mechanism clicks at least three times.
NOTE:
Refer to the "Spare Tire Tools" section for instructions on assembling the T-handle.
12. Stow the jack, jack handle and winch handle tools back in the stowage compartment.
13. Check the compact spare tire pressure as soon as possible. Correct the tire pressure,
as required.
Securing The Compact Spare Tire
1. Assemble the winch handle extensions to form a T-handle and fit the winch T-handle
over the drive nut. Rotate the nut to the left until the winch mechanism stops turning
freely. This will allow enough slack in the cable to allow you to pull the wheel spacer out
from under the vehicle.
A loose compact spare tire/cover assembly, thrown forward in a collision or hard stop
could endanger the occupants of the vehicle. Always stow the compact spare tire with
the cover assembly in the place provided.
The winch mechanism is designed for use with the winch T-handle only. Use of an air
wrench or other power tools is not recommended and can damage the winch.
