Attach the ratchet, with the DOWN side facing you, to
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.
NOTICE:
To help avoid vehicle damage, do not drive
vehicle before the cable is restored.

5. Put the flat end of the extension on an angle through
the hole in the rear door frame, above the bumper.
Turn the ratchet clockwise until the tire is against the
underside
of the vehicle.
You will hear two “clicks” when the tire is up all the
way. Try
to move the tire with your hands to make
sure it is securely in place.
Return the jacking equipment to the proper location.
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 kmh) as shown
on the speedometer.

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.
While refueling, hang the cap inside the fuel door.
To take off the cap, turn it slowly to the left
(counterclockwise). 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.

Instrument Panel
The fuse block access door
is on the driver’s side of the
instrument panel below the
hood release lever.
You can remove fuses with a fuse extractor. The fuse
extractor is mounted
to the fuse block access door.
To remove fuses if you don’t have a fuse extractor, hold
the end of the fuse between your thumb and index finger
and pull straight out.
Be sure to use the correct fuse. If
you ever have a
problem on the road and don’t have a spare fuse, you
can “borrow”
one of the correct value. Just pick some feature
of
your vehicle that you can get along
without
-- like the radio or cigarette lighter -- and use
its fuse, if
it is of the value you need. Replace it as soon
as you can.
See “Fuses and Circuit Breakers’’ in the
Index for more information.
