11. Stow the cable and wheel spacer before driving the
vehicle. Reassemble 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 mecha-
nism clicks at least three times.
NOTE: Refer to the “Spare Tire Tools” section for instruc-
tions on assembling the T-handle.
12. Stow the jack, jack handle and winch handle tools back
in the stowage compartment.
13. Check the compact spare tire pressure as soon as
possible. Correct the tire pressure, as required.
Securing The Compact Spare Tire
1. Assemble the winch handle extensions 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 vehicle.
WARNING!
A loose compact spare tire/cover assembly, thrown
forward in a collision 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 extensions 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 compact spare tire/
cover assembly. Slide the wheel spacer through the
center of the wheel and compact spare tire/cover assem-
bly, so that the two retainer tabs snap out and engage the
compact spare tire cover on the opposite side.
