ability, to the point where the ratchet/slip occurs, if possible. The spare

tire carrier will not allow you to overtighten. If the spare tire carrier

ratchets or slips with little effort, take the vehicle to your dealer for

assistance at your earliest convenience.

4. Check that the tire lies flat against the frame and is properly

tightened. Try to push or pull, then turn the tire to be sure it will not

move. Loosen and retighten, if necessary. Failure to properly stow the

spare tire may result in failure of the winch cable and loss of the tire.

5. Repeat this tightness check procedure when servicing the spare tire

pressure (every six months, per scheduled maintenance guide), or at any

time that the spare tire is disturbed through service of other

components.

6. If removed, install the spare tire lock (if equipped) into the bumper

drive tube with the spare tire lock key (if equipped) and jack handle.

JUMP STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

The gases around the battery can explode if exposed to flames,

sparks, or lit cigarettes. An explosion could result in injury or

vehicle damage.

Batteries contain sulfuric acid which can burn skin, eyes and

clothing, if contacted.

Do not attempt to push-start your vehicle. Automatic

transmissions do not have push-start capability; also, the

catalytic converter may become damaged.

Preparing your vehicle

When the battery is disconnected or a new battery is installed, the

transmission must relearn its shift strategy. As a result, the transmission

may have firm and/or soft shifts. This operation is considered normal and

will not affect function or durability of the transmission. Over time, the

adaptive learning process will fully update transmission operation.

1. Use only a 12–volt supply to start your vehicle.

2. Do not disconnect the battery of the disabled vehicle as this could

damage the vehicle’s electrical system.

3. Park the booster vehicle close to the hood of the disabled vehicle

making sure the two vehicles do not touch. Set the parking brake on

both vehicles and stay clear of the engine cooling fan and other moving

parts.
