12. Slide the road wheel on the ground using the protec-

tive plate until it is directly under the winch and
between the rear bumper and exhaust system heat
shields. Raise the tire by turn the lug wrench on the
winch extension clockwise until it clicks/ratchets
three times to make sure the cable is tight.

NOTE:

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.

13. Lower the jack to the fully closed position. Return the

tools to the proper positions in the tool bag. Fold the
flap on the tool bag under the tools and roll the tools
in the bag underneath the others. Use the Velcro
straps to secure the tool bag to the jack with the lug
wrench on the forward side of the jack. Expand the
jack on the bracket by turning the thumb screw
clockwise until it is tight to prevent rattles.
