CAUTION!

The winch mechanism is designed for use with the
jack handle only. Use of an air wrench or other power
tools is not recommended and can damage the winch.

When the spare is clear, tilt the retainer at the end of the
cable and pull it through the center of the wheel.

Preparations For Jacking

Park the vehicle on a firm level surface, avoid ice or
slippery areas, set the parking brake and place the gear
selector in PARK. Turn OFF the ignition.

WARNING!

Do not attempt to change a tire on the side of the
vehicle close to moving traffic. Pull far enough off
the road to avoid the danger of being hit when
operating the jack or changing the wheel.

• Turn on the Hazard Warning Flasher.

• Block both the front and rear

of the wheel diagonally oppo-
site the jacking position. For
example, if changing the right
front tire, block the left rear
wheel.

• Passengers should not remain in the vehicle when the

vehicle is being jacked.
