the bracket with the bolt through the box. Put the jack onto the box. Be sure

gloves,
if your vehicle has them, to the jack using the provided strap.
Slide the retainer over the bolt onto the jack and put the wing nut on. Turn
the nut to the right until it is tight against the retainer.
Replace the jack storage cover, if your vehicle has one, by simply reversing
the removal procedure described earlier.

Tire Chains
NOTICE:
If your vehicle has LT265/75R16 size tires, don’t use tire chains;
they can damage your vehicle.
If you have a tire size other than LT265/75Rl6, use tire chains
only where legal and only when you must. Use only
SAE Class
“S” type chains that are the proper size for your tires. Install
them on the tires
of the rear axle. Tighten them as tightly as
possible
with the ends securely fastened. Drive slowly and follow
the chain manufacturer’s instructions.
If you can hear the chains
contacting your vehicle, stop and retighten them.
If the contact
continues, slow down until
it stops. Driving too fast with chains
on will damage your vehicle.
Appearance Care

burst into flame
if you strike a match or get them on a hot part of the
vehicle. Some
are dangerous if you brea.the their fumes in a closed space.
When you use anything from a container to clean your vehicle, be sure to
follow the manufacturer’s warnings and instructions. And always open your doors or windows when you’re cleaning the inside.
