IN CASE OF EMERGENCY 207
7. Install the spare wheel/tire on the vehicle and install
the lug nuts with the cone-shaped end toward the
wheel. Lightly tighten the nuts.
Mounting Spare Tire
8. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw counter-
clockwise, and remove the jack and wheel blocks.
9. Finish tightening the wheel bolts. Push down on the
wrench while at the end of the handle for increased
leverage. Tighten the wheel bolts in a star pattern
until each wheel bolt has been tightened twice. If in
doubt about the correct tightness, have them
checked with a torque wrench by an authorized
dealer or at a service station
Ú page 262.
10. Push out the small center cap using the jack tool from
inside the aluminum road wheel and position the
wheel behind the rear fascia/bumper with the
protective plate facing outward.
Installing Protective Plate On Damaged Wheel
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.
Installing Winch
12. Slide the road wheel on the ground using the
protective plate until it is directly under the winch and
between the rear fascia/bumper and exhaust system
heat shields. Raise the tire by turning the lug wrench
on the winch extension clockwise until it clicks/
ratchets three times to make sure the cable is tight.
Wrench Rotation
WARNING!
To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the jack, do
not tighten the wheel nuts fully until the vehicle has
been lowered. Failure to follow this warning may result
in serious injury.
CAUTION!
Be sure to mount the spare tire with the valve stem
facing outward. The vehicle could be damaged if the
spare tire is mounted incorrectly.
