WARNING!
A loose tire or jack, thrown forward in a collision or hard stop, could endanger the
occupants of the vehicle. Always stow the jack parts and the spare tire in the places
provided.
• Place the deflated (flat) tire and compact spare tire cover assembly in the rear cargo
area. Do not stow the deflated tire in the spare tire location. Have the full-sized tire
repaired or replaced as soon as possible.
• To stow the winch cable and retainer, fit the assembled jack-handle over the winch
drive nut. Rotate the jack-handle assembly clockwise until you hear the winch
mechanism click three times.
• Secure the jack and tools in their proper locations.
JUMP-STARTING
• If your vehicle has a discharged battery it can be jump-started using a set of jumper
cables and a battery in another vehicle or by using a portable battery booster pack.
• Jump-starting can be dangerous if done improperly so please follow the procedures in
this section carefully.
NOTE: When using a portable battery booster pack follow the manufacturer's operating
instructions and precautions.
CAUTION!
Do not use a portable battery booster pack or any other booster source with a system
voltage greater than 12 Volts or damage to the battery, starter motor, alternator or
