8. Finish tightening the lug nuts.
Push down on the wrench while at the
end of the handle for increased lever-
age. Tighten the lug nuts in a star
pattern until each nut has been tight-
ened twice. The correct wheel nut
tightness is 138 N·m. If in doubt
about the correct tightness, have them
checked with a torque wrench by your
authorized dealer or at a service sta-
tion.
9. Lower the jack to its fully-closed
position.WARNING!
A loose tire or jack thrown forward
in a collision or hard stop could en-
danger the occupants of the vehicle.
Always stow the jack parts and the
spare tire in the places provided.
Have the deflated (flat) tire repaired
or replaced immediately.
10. Place the deflated (flat) tire and
compact spare tire cover assembly in
the rear cargo area. Do not stow the
deflated tire in the spare tire loca-
tion. Have the full-sized tire repaired
or replaced, as soon as possible. 11. Stow the cable and wheel spacer
before driving the vehicle. Reas-
semble the winch handle extensions to
form a “T” and fit the winch T-handle
over the drive nut. Rotate the nut to
the right until the winch mechanism
clicks at least three times.
NOTE:
Refer to the “Spare Tire Tools”
section for instructions on assem-
bling the T-handle.
12. Stow the jack, jack handle and
winch handle tools back in the stow-
age compartment.
13. Check the compact spare tire
pressure as soon as possible. Correct
the tire pressure, as required.
SECURING THE SPARE
TIRE
1. Assemble the winch handle exten-
sions to form a T-handle and fit the
winch T-handle over the drive nut.
Rotate the nut to the left until the
winch mechanism stops turning
freely. This will allow enough slack in
the cable to allow you to pull the
wheel spacer out from under the ve-
hicle.
WARNING!
A loose compact spare tire/cover as-
sembly, thrown forward in a colli-
sion or hard stop could endanger the
occupants of the vehicle. Always
stow the compact spare tire with the
cover assembly in the place pro-
vided.CAUTION!
The winch mechanism is designed
for use with the winch T-handle
only. Use of an air wrench or other
power tools is not recommended and
can damage the winch.
2. Assemble the winch handle exten-
sions to form the spare tire hook, and
pull the wheel spacer from under the
vehicle.
3. Turn the compact spare tire so that
the valve stem is down, and place the
tire into the spare tire/cover assembly.
Slide the wheel spacer through the
center of the wheel and spare tire/
cover assembly, so that the two re-
tainer tabs snap out and engage the
spare tire cover on the opposite side.
275

CAUTION!
The compact spare tire/cover as-
sembly must be used when the com-
pact spare tire is stored. Failure to
use this cover could drastically re-
duce the life of the compact spare
tire.WARNING!
Verify that both retainer tabs of the
wheel spacer have been properly ex-
tended through the center of the
wheel and spare tire/cover assembly.
Failure to properly engage both re-
tainer tabs could result in loss of the
spare tire and cover assembly, which
will cause vehicle damage and may
cause loss of vehicle control.
4. Using the winch T-handle, rotate
the drive nut to the right until the
compact spare tire/cover assembly is
drawn into place against the under-
side of the vehicle.
5. Continue to rotate the nut to the
right until you hear the winch mecha-
nism click three times. It cannot be
overtightened. Check under the ve-
hicle to ensure the compact spare tire/ cover assembly is positioned correctly
against the underside of the vehicle.
CAUTION!
The winch mechanism is designed
specifically to stow a compact spare
tire only. Do not attempt to use the
winch to stow the full size flat tire, or
any other full-size tire. Vehicle dam-
age may result.
ROAD TIRE
INSTALLATION
Vehicles Equipped With Wheel
Covers
1. Mount the road tire on the axle.
2. To ease the installation process for
steel wheels with wheel covers, install
two lug nuts on the mounting studs
which are on each side of the valve
stem. Install the lug nuts with the cone
shaped end of the nut toward the
wheel. Lightly tighten the lug nuts. 3. Align the valve notch in the wheel
cover with the valve stem on the
wheel. Install the cover by hand,
snapping the cover over the two lug
nuts. Do not use a hammer or exces-
sive force to install the cover.
4. Install the remaining lug nuts with
the cone shaped end of the nut toward
the wheel. Lightly tighten the lug
nuts.

JUMP-STARTING
PROCEDURE
If your vehicle has a discharged bat-
tery it can be jump-started using a set
of jumper cables and a battery in an-
other vehicle or by using a portable
battery booster pack. Jump-starting
can be dangerous if done improperly
so please follow the procedures in this
section carefully.
NOTE:
When using a portable battery
booster pack follow the manufac-
turer’s operating instructions and
precautions.
CAUTION!
Do not use a portable battery
booster pack or any other booster
source with a system voltage greater
than 12 Volts or damage to the bat-
tery, starter motor, alternator or
electrical system may occur.
277

WARNING!
Do not attempt jump-starting if the
battery is frozen. It could rupture or
explode and cause personal injury.
PREPARATIONS FOR
JUMP-START
The battery in your vehicle is located
on the left side of the engine compart-
ment.WARNING!
 Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan whenever the hood is
raised. It can start anytime the
ignition switch is on. You can be
injured by moving fan blades.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
 Remove any metal jewelry such as
watch bands or bracelets that
might make an inadvertent elec-
trical contact. You could be seri-
ously injured.
 Batteries contain sulfuric acid
that can burn your skin or eyes
and generate hydrogen gas which
is flammable and explosive. Keep
open flames or sparks away from
the battery.
1. Set the parking brake, shift the
automatic transmission into PARK
and turn the ignition to LOCK.
2. Turn off the heater, radio, and all
unnecessary electrical accessories.
3. If using another vehicle to jump-
start the battery, park the vehicle
within the jumper cables reach, set
the parking brake and make sure the
ignition is OFF.WARNING!
Do not allow vehicles to touch each
other as this could establish a
ground connection and personal in-
jury could result. JUMP-STARTING
PROCEDURE
WARNING!
Failure to follow this procedure
could result in personal injury or
property damage due to battery ex-
plosion.CAUTION!
Failure to follow these procedures
could result in damage to the charg-
ing system of the booster vehicle or
the discharged vehicle.
1. Connect the positive (+)end of the
jumper cable to the positive (+)post of
the discharged vehicle.
2. Connect the opposite end of the
positive (+)jumper cable to the posi-
tive (+)post of the booster battery.
3. Connect the negative end (-)of the
jumper cable to the negative (-)post
of the booster battery.
4. Connect the opposite end of the
negative (-)jumper cable to a good
engine ground (exposed metal part of
Positive Battery Post
278

the discharged vehicle’s engine) away
from the battery and the fuel injection
system.WARNING!
Do not connect the cable to the nega-
tive post(-)of the discharged bat-
tery. The resulting electrical spark
could cause the battery to explode
and could result in personal injury.
5. Start the engine in the vehicle that
has the booster battery, let the engine
idle a few minutes, and then start the
engine in the vehicle with the dis-
charged battery. Once the engine is
started, remove the jumper cables in
the reverse sequence:
6. Disconnect the negative (-)jumper
cable from the negative (-)post of the
vehicle with the discharged battery.
7. Disconnect the negative end (-)of
the jumper cable from the negative (-)
post of the booster battery. 8. Disconnect the opposite end of the
positive
(+)jumper cable from the
positive (+)post of the booster bat-
tery.
9. Disconnect the positive (+)end of
the jumper cable from the positive (+)
post of the discharged vehicle.
If frequent jump-starting is required
to start your vehicle you should have
the battery and charging system in-
spected at your authorized dealer.
CAUTION!
Accessories that can be plugged into
the vehicle power outlets draw
power from the vehicle’s battery,
even when not in use (i.e., cellular
phones, etc.). Eventually, if plugged
in long enough, the vehicle’s battery
will discharge sufficiently to degrade
battery life and/or prevent the en-
gine from starting. FREEING A STUCK
VEHICLE
If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud,
sand or snow, it can often be moved by
a rocking motion. Turn your steering
wheel right and left to clear the area
around the front wheels. Then move
the shift lever back and forth between
DRIVE and REVERSE. Using mini-
mal accelerator pedal pressure to
maintain the rocking motion, without
spinning the wheels, is most effective.
CAUTION!
Racing the engine or spinning the
wheels may lead to transmission
overheating and failure. Allow the
engine to idle with the shift lever in
NEUTRAL for at least one minute
after every five rocking-motion
cycles. This will minimize overheat-
ing and reduce the risk of transmis-
sion failure during prolonged efforts
to free a stuck vehicle.
279

NOTE:
To improve the vehicle’s traction
when starting off in deep snow,
sand or gravel, it may be desirable
to switch the Electronic Stability
Program (ESP) to “Partial Off”
mode. Refer to “Electronic Brake
Control System” in “Starting and
Operating” for further informa-
tion.CAUTION!
 When “rocking” a stuck vehicleby moving between DRIVE and
REVERSE, do not spin the wheels
faster than 24 km/h, or drivetrain
damage may result.
 Revving the engine or spinning
the wheels too fast may lead to
transmission overheating and
failure. It can also damage the
tires. Do not spin the wheels above
48 km/h while in gear (no trans-
mission shifting occurring).
WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be danger-
ous. Forces generated by excessive
wheel speeds may cause damage, or
even failure, of the axle and tires. A
tire could explode and injure some-
one. Do not spin your vehicle's
wheels faster than 48 km/h or for
longer than 30 seconds continuously
without stopping when you are stuck
and do not let anyone near a spin-
ning wheel, no matter what the
speed.
SHIFT LEVER
OVERRIDE
If a malfunction occurs and the shift
lever cannot be moved out of the
PARK position, you can use the fol-
lowing procedure to temporarily
move the shift lever:
1. Firmly apply the parking brake.
2. Remove the shift lever access
cover, located near the top right of the
shift lever in the instrument panel. 3. Turn the ignition to the ON/RUN
position without starting the engine
(engine OFF).
4. Press and maintain firm pressure
on the brake pedal.
5. Insert a screwdriver or similar tool
into the hole and push and hold the
shift lever override forward.
6. Move the shift lever to the NEU-
TRAL position.
7. The vehicle may then be started in
NEUTRAL.
8. Reinstall the shift lever override
access cover.

Flatbed ALLBEST METHOD
Proper towing or lifting equipment is
required to prevent damage to your
vehicle. Use only tow bars and other
equipment designed for the purpose,
following equipment manufacturer’s
instructions. Use of safety chains is
mandatory. Attach a tow bar or other
towing device to main structural
members of the vehicle, not to bum-
pers or associated brackets. State and
local laws applying to vehicles under
tow must be observed.
If you must use the accessories (wip-
ers, defrosters, etc.) while being
towed, the ignition must be in the
ON/RUN position, not the ACC posi-
tion.
CAUTION!
 Do not use sling type equipment when towing. Damage to the fas-
cia will occur.
 When securing the vehicle to a
flatbed truck, do not attach to
front or rear suspension compo-
nents. Damage to your vehicle
may result from improper towing.
 Do not push or tow this vehicle
with another vehicle as damage to
the bumper fascia and transmis-
sion may result.
 If the vehicle being towed requires
steering, the ignition switch must
be in the ON/RUN position, not
the LOCK/OFF or ACC positions. The manufacturer recommends tow-
ing your vehicle with all four wheels
OFF the ground using a flatbed. If
flatbed equipment is not available,
and the transmission is operable, the
vehicle may be flat towed (with all
four wheels on the ground) under the
following conditions:
 The shift lever must be in NEU-
TRAL.
 The distance to be traveled must not exceed 24 km.
 The towing speed must not exceed 40 km/h.
281

If the transmission is not operable,
or the vehicle must be towed faster
than 40 km/h or farther than
24 km, it must be towed with the
front wheels OFF the ground (us-
ing a flatbed truck, or wheel lift
equipment with the front wheels
raised).CAUTION!
Towing faster than 40 km/h or far-
ther than 24 km with front wheels
on the ground can cause severe dam-
age to the transmission. Such dam-
age is not covered by the New Ve-
hicle Limited Warranty.WITHOUT THE IGNITION
KEY
Special care must be taken when the
vehicle is towed with the ignition in
the LOCK/OFF position. Flatbed
towing is the preferred towing
method. However, if a flatbed towing
vehicle is not available, wheel lift tow-
ing equipment may be used. Rear
towing (with the front wheels on the
ground) is not allowed, as transmis-
sion damage will occur. If rear towing
is the only alternative, the front
wheels must be placed on a towing
dolly. Proper towing equipment is
necessary to prevent damage to the
vehicle.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these towing meth-
ods can cause severe transmission
damage. Such damage is not covered
by the New Vehicle Limited War-
ranty.
