Road Wheel Installed In Spare Location
13. 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.
14. Lower the jack to the fully closed position. Return the tools to the proper positions in the
tool bag. Fold the flap on the tool bag under
the tools and roll the tools in the bag
underneath the others. Use the hook and loop
fasteners to secure the tool bag to the jack
with the lug wrench on the forward side of the
jack. Expand the jack on the bracket by turning
the thumb screw clockwise until it is tight to
prevent rattles.
15. Reinstall the plastic plug into the floor of the cargo area. Roll up and store the Jack, Tool Kit
and Tire Changing Instructions. Reinstall the
cover for the jack in the rear storage bin.
16. Have the aluminum road wheel and tire repaired as soon as possible and properly
secure the spare tire, jack and tool kit.
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.
CAUTION!
The winch mechanism is designed for use with
the jack wrench extension tool only. Use of air
wrench or power tool may damage the winch.
WARNING!
A loose tire or jack thrown forward in a collision
or hard stop, could endanger the occupants of
the vehicle. Always stow the jack parts and the
spare tire in the places provided.
WARNING!
Do not attempt jump starting if the battery is
frozen. It could rupture or explode and cause
personal injury.
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 battery,
starter motor, alternator or electrical system may
occur.
