1. You can remove the radiator pressure cap when the
cooling system, including the radiator pressure cap
and upper radiator hose,
is no longer hot. Turn the
pressure cap slowly counterclockwise until it first
stops. (Don’t press down while turning the
pressure cap.)
If you hear a hiss, wait for that to stop. A hiss means
there is still some pressure left.
2. Then keep turning the pressure cap, but now push
down as you turn it. Remove the pressure cap.

the extension. The extension has a socket end and a flat
chisel end.
Put the flat end
of the extension on an angle through the
hole
in the rear door frame, above the bumper. Be sure
the flat end connects into the hoist shaft.
Turn the ratchet counterclockwise to lower the spare tire
to the ground.
If you are changing a flat rear tire and the
vehicle is already jacked up, use the jack handle and
extension
to hook the cable. Then pull the spare from
beneath the vehicle.
If the retainer pulls out, hook the inside
of the wheel and
pull the spare tire out from under
the vehicle.
When the tire has been lowered, tilt the retainer at the
end
of the cable and pull it through the wheel opening.
I NOTICE:
To help avoid vehicle damage, do not drive
vehicle before the cable
is restored.

could be badly injured or killed. Never get under
a vehicle when it is supported only by a jack.

the UP mark faces you. Raise the vehicle
hr enough off the ground so there is enough room
for the spare tire to fit.

Secure the items and replace the jack cover.
If You’re Stuck: In Sand, Mud,
Ice or Snow
What you don’t want to do when your vehicle is stuck is
to spin your wheels too fast. The method known as
“rocking’’ can help you get out when you’re stuck, but
you must use caution.
If you let your tires spin at high speed, they can
explode, and you or others could be injured.
And, the transmission or other parts
of the
vehicle can overheat. That
could cause an engine
compartment fire or other damage. When you’re
stuck, spin the wheels
as little as possible. Don’t
spin the wheels above
35 mph (55 km/h) as shown
on the speedometer.

To take off the cap, turn it slowly to the left
(counterclockwise).
If you get gasoline on yourself and then
something ignites it, you could be badly burned.
Gasoline can spray out on you if you open the
fuel filler cap too quickly. This spray can happen
if your tank is nearly full, and
is more likely in
hot weather. Open the fuel filler cap slowly and
wait for any “hiss” noise to stop. Then unscrew
the cap all the way.
Be careful not to spill gasoline. Clean gasoline from
painted surfaces as soon as possible. See “Cleaning the
Outside of Your Vehicle” in the Index.
