Stowing the mini-spare and jack

1. Adjust the jack to the proper

wrench handle and place the wrench
over the raised tab on the lower link
and drop the tang (B) through the
hole in the diagonally opposite upper
link. Turn the lead screw of the jack
clockwise until the arrow aligns with
the circle indicator to secure the
wrench onto the jack.

2. Place the jack in the foam tray and secure it with the attached strap.

3. Place the foam tray over the mounting bracket on the floor of the
spare tire well.

4. Replace the mini-spare over the jack and secure with the wing nut.
