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.

when servicing the spare tire pressure
(every six months, as per your
scheduled maintenance information),
or at any time that the spare tire is
disturbed through service of other
components.

6. If removed, install the spare tire lock

into the bumper drive tube with the
spare tire lock key and jack handle.

2. Adjust the jack up or down by rotating

the lead screw located on the end of
the jack. The stowage markings should
line up with the bottom channel.

3. Place the jack in the vehicle so that the

lead screw adjustment is facing the
driver side of the vehicle.

4. Place the tool bag on top of the jack.

The jack base fits within the opening
of the jack tool bag.

5. Attach the flap around the lead screw

and secure the flap to the velcro.

6. Secure the two D-ring straps tightly.

7.

Secure the velcro straps through the
hole of the lead screw tightly.

8. Place the jack so the lug wrench faces

the rear of the vehicle. Position the jack
base so the key hole slots align with
the jacking posts.
