6. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 for the otherhexagon bolt.
7. Lift the spare tire cage (2) slightly andmanually disengage both hook ends (3).
For easier disengagement of the hook
ends, insert the chisel end of the wheel
wrench into one of the tubes (1) and
apply upward pressure while disengaging
the hook. Do this to both sides.
8. Lift the spare tire and remove it fromthe cage.
The cage will not lower completely to
the ground but will allow ample room to
remove the spare tire.
9. The spent road wheel will be stored in the rear of the vehicle. See “Storing a
Flat or Spare Tire and Tools.”
10. Lift the empty spare tire cage (2) and manually engage both hook ends, with
hook openings facing the rear of the

engaged with the spare tire cage during
the raising process that follows. 11. Assemble the wheel wrench and wheel
wrench adapter as in Step 4.
12. Raise the empty spare tire carrier, turning the hexagon bolts clockwise until
each side begins to ratchet.
Ratcheting of both bolts indicates the
spare tire carrier has been raised to its
maximum, stowed position.
The spare tire carrier is properly stowed
when ratcheting has occurred on both
bolts, and the hook ends are engaged
and pulled taut from supporting the
weight of the cage.
13. Replace the hexagon bolt caps.

Before you connect the cables, here are
some basic things you should know.
Positive (+) will go to the positive (+)
terminal. Negative (−) will go to the
negative (−) terminal on the battery
providing the jump start to the negative
grounding point for the discharged battery.
Connection Points and Sequence
1. Discharged Battery Positive (+)Terminal
2. Good Battery Positive (+) Terminal
3. Good Battery Negative (−) Terminal
4. Discharged Battery Negative (−) Grounding Point
The good battery positive (+) terminal and
the good battery negative (–) terminal are
on the battery of the vehicle providing the
jump start.
The discharged battery positive (+) terminal
and the discharged battery negative (–)
grounding point are on the passenger side
of the vehicle.
The discharged battery positive (+) terminal
is under a cover. Remove the cover to
expose the terminal.
1. Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12-volt battery with a negative ground
system.
Caution
If the other vehicle does not have a
12-volt system with a negative ground,
both vehicles can be damaged. Only use
a vehicle that has a 12-volt system with a
negative ground for jump starting.
2. Get the vehicles close enough so the jumper cables can reach, but be sure the
vehicles are not touching each other.
If they are, it could cause a ground
connection you do not want. You would not be able to start the vehicle, and the
bad grounding could damage the
electrical systems.
To avoid the possibility of the vehicles
rolling, set the parking brake firmly on
both vehicles involved in the jump start
procedure. Put the vehicles into P (Park).
If the other vehicle has a manual
transmission, put the vehicle in
N (Neutral) before setting the parking
brakes.
Caution
If any accessories are left on or plugged
in during the jump starting procedure,
they could be damaged. The repairs
would not be covered by the vehicle
warranty. Whenever possible, turn off or
unplug all accessories on either vehicle
when jump starting.
3. Turn off both vehicles. Unplug unnecessary accessories plugged into the
cigarette lighter or the accessory power
outlet. Turn off the radio and all lamps
that are not needed. This will avoid
sparks and help save both batteries. And
it could save the radio!
4. Open the hood. See Hood019.

.Solvents, alcohols, fuels, or other harsh
cleaners.
.Ice scrapers or other hard items.
.Aftermarket appearance caps or covers
while the lamps are illuminated, due to
excessive heat generated.
Caution
Failure to clean lamps properly can cause
damage to the lamp cover that would
not be covered by the vehicle warranty.
Caution
Using wax on low gloss black finish
stripes can increase the gloss level and
create a non-uniform finish. Clean low
gloss stripes with soap and water only.
Air Intakes
Clear debris from the air intakes, between
the hood and windshield, when washing the
vehicle.
Shutter System
The vehicle may have a shutter system that
automatically closes the frontal cooling
openings. This system promotes airflow
around the vehicle, reducing drag and
providing energy savings. Ensure the shutter
system is clear of any visible debris, snow,
or ice. If the Service Vehicle Soon light
activates and remains after clearing the
shutter system, seeService Vehicle Soon
Light (Propulsion System Failure) 0115.
Windshield and Wiper Blades
Clean the outside of the windshield with
glass cleaner. Clean rubber blades using a lint-free cloth or
paper towel soaked with windshield washer
fluid or a mild detergent. Wash the
windshield thoroughly when cleaning the
blades. Bugs, road grime, sap, and a buildup
of vehicle wash/wax treatments may cause
wiper streaking.
Replace the wiper blades if they are worn or
damaged. Damage can be caused by
extreme dusty conditions, sand, salt, heat,
sun, snow, and ice.
Weatherstrips
Apply weatherstrip lubricant on
weatherstrips to make them last longer, seal
better, and not stick or squeak. Lubricate
weatherstrips once a year. Hot, dry climates
may require more frequent application. Black
marks from rubber material on painted
surfaces can be removed by rubbing with a
clean cloth. See
Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants 0392.
Tires
Use a stiff brush with tire cleaner to clean
the tires.

sanitizers. If hand sanitizer comes in
contact with interior surfaces of the
vehicle, blot immediately and clean
with a soft cloth dampened with a
mild soap and water solution.
Interior Glass
To clean, use a microfiber cloth fabric
dampened with water. Wipe droplets left
behind with a clean dry cloth. If necessary,
use a commercial glass cleaner after
cleaning with plain water.
Caution
To prevent scratching, never use abrasive
cleaners on automotive glass. Abrasive
cleaners or aggressive cleaning may
damage the rear window defogger.
Cleaning the windshield with water during
the first three to six months of ownership
will reduce tendency to fog.
Speaker Covers
Vacuum around a speaker cover gently, so
that the speaker will not be damaged. Clean
spots with water and mild soap.
Coated Moldings
Coated moldings should be cleaned.
.When lightly soiled, wipe with a sponge
or soft, lint-free cloth dampened with
water.
.When heavily soiled, use warm soapy
water.
Vinyl/Rubber
If equipped with vinyl floor and rubber floor
mats, use a soft cloth and/or brush
dampened with water to remove dust and
loose dirt. For more thorough cleaning, use
a mild soap and water solution.
{Warning
Do not use cleaners that contain silicone,
wax-based products, or cleaners that
increase gloss on vinyl/rubber floor and
mats. These cleaners can permanently
change the appearance and feel of the
vinyl/rubber and can make the floor (Continued)
Warning (Continued)
slippery. Your foot could slip while
operating the vehicle, and you could lose
control, resulting in a crash. You or
others could be injured.
Fabric/Carpet/Suede
Start by vacuuming the surface using a soft
brush attachment. If a rotating vacuum
brush attachment is being used, only use it
on the floor carpet. Before cleaning, gently
remove as much of the soil as possible:
.Gently blot liquids with a paper towel.
Continue blotting until no more soil can
be removed.
.For solid soils, remove as much as
possible prior to vacuuming.
To clean: 1. Saturate a clean, lint-free colorfast cloth with water. Microfiber cloth is
recommended to prevent lint transfer to
the fabric or carpet.
2. Remove excess moisture by gently wringing until water does not drip from
the cleaning cloth.
