NOTE:

Tire should be stowed with the “beauty” side

up. Storing the tire upside down may result in scratching
or damage to the wheel face. Continue winching up the
tire until you hear the winch “ratchet” three times.
Double check to ensure the tire is snug against the
underbody of the vehicle. Damage to the winch cable
may result if the vehicle is driven with the tire loose.

WARNING!

Do not use power tools to winch the tire up or down.
Impact type tools may damage the winch mecha-
nism.

12. Reinstall the plastic plug into the floor of the cargo
area.

JUMP STARTING PROCEDURE

NOTE:

Check the charge indicator on the battery. If the

indicator is light or yellow, replace the battery.

1. Wear eye protection and remove any metal jewelry
such as watch bands or bracelets that might make an
unintended electrical contact.

2. When boost is provided by a battery in another
vehicle, park that vehicle within booster cable reach but
without letting the vehicles touch. Set the parking brake,
place the transmission in P (Park), and turn the ignition
to OFF for both vehicles.

3. Turn off the heater, radio and all unnecessary electrical
loads.

4. Connect one end of a jumper cable to the positive
terminal of the discharged battery. Connect the other end
of the same cable to the positive terminal of the booster
battery.
