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 underside of the vehicle.
5. Continue to rotate the nut to the right until you hear the winch mechanism click three times.
It cannot be overtightened. Check under the vehicle to ensure the compact spare tire/cover
assembly is positioned correctly against the underside of the vehicle.
Road Tire Installation

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 excessive
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.
5. Lower the vehicle to the ground by turning
the jack handle counterclockwise.
6. Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on
the wrench while at the end of the handle for
increased leverage. Tighten the lug nuts in a
star pattern until each nut has been tight-
ened twice. The correct tightness of each
lug nut is 100 ft/lbs (135 N·m). If in doubt
about the correct tightness, have them
checked with a torque wrench by your au-
thorized dealer or service station.
7. After 25 miles (40 km) check the lug nut torque with a torque wrench to ensure that all lug nuts
are properly seated against the wheel.

JUMP-STARTING
If your vehicle has a discharged battery it can be jump-started using a set of jumper cables and a
battery in another 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 manufacturer’s operating instruc-
tions and precautions.
Preparations For Jump-Start
•Thebatteryinyourvehicleislocatedonthe
left side of the engine compartment.
•Settheparkingbrake,shifttheautomatic
transmission into PARK and turn the ignition
to LOCK.
• Turn off the heater, radio, and all unneces-
sary electrical accessories.
•Ifusinganothervehicletojump-startthe
battery, park the vehicle within the jumper
cables reach, set the parking brake and make sure the ignition is OFF.
Jump-Starting Procedure
1. Connect the positive(+)end of the jumper cable to the positive(+)post of the vehicle with the
discharged battery.
2. Connect the opposite end of the positive(+)jumper cable to the positive(+)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 the discharged vehicle’s engine) away from the battery and the fuel
injection system.
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 discharged battery.
Once the engine is started, remove the jumper cables in the reverse sequence:
1. Disconnect the negative(-)end of the jumper cable from the engine ground of the vehicle
with the discharged battery.
2. Disconnect the opposite end of the negative(-)jumper cable from the negative(-)post of
the booster battery.

The Totally Integrated Power Module is located in the engine compartment near the battery.
Refer to the applicable “Engine Compartment” illustration in this section. This center contains
cartridge fuses and mini-fuses. A label that identifies each component may be printed or
embossed on the inside of the cover.
CAUTION!
•WheninstallingtheTotallyIntegratedPowerModulecover,itisimportanttoensurethe
cover is properly positioned and fully latched. Failure to do so may allow water to get into
the Integrated Power Module, and possibly result in a electrical system failure.
• When replacing a blown fuse, it is important to use only a fuse having the correct
amperage rating. The use of a fuse with a rating other than indicated may result in a
dangerous electrical system overload. If a properly rated fuse continues to blow, it
indicates a problem in the circuit that must be corrected.
The numbers inside the TIPM cover correspond to the following table.
