13. Unblock the wheels.

Stowing the flat/spare tire

1. Lay the tire on the ground with the valve stem facing up.

2. Slide the wheel partially under the vehicle and install the wire and

retainer through the center of the wheel.

3. Turn the jack handle clockwise until the tire is raised to its original

position underneath the vehicle. The effort to turn the jack handle

increases significantly as the tire contacts the frame. The spare tire

carrier will ratchet when the tire is in the fully stowed position. The

spare tire carrier has a built-in ratchet feature that will not allow you to

overtighten. If the spare tire carrier ratchets with very little effort, take

the vehicle to your dealer for assistance at your earliest convenience.

4. Check that the tire lies flat against the frame assembly. Push against

the tire to make sure it is tightly sealed under the vehicle. Loosen and

retighten, if necessary. Failure to properly stow the spare tire may result

in failure of the winch cable and loss of the spare 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. Install the spare tire lock (if equipped) into the access hole above the

rear bumper 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.
