2.Fold up the rear section of the floor in the cargo compartment.

3.Connect the two sections of the jack's crank.

4.Insert the hooked end of the crank in the spare wheel retaining attachment.

5.Lower the spare wheel under the vehicle by turning the crank counterclockwise until it is not possible to turn it further.

6.Pivot the toggle at the end of the cable 90 degrees to release it from the spare wheel

CAUTION

When the spare wheel is mounted on the vehicle, the retaining cable could damage the underside of the vehicle if it is not retrac- ted.

Returning the spare wheel to the storage compartment

1.Use the crank (turn it counterclockwise) to lower the spare wheel's retaining cable.

2.Pass the toggle at the end of the cable through the center hole in the spare wheel.

Pivot the toggle 90 degrees so that when raised, the wheel will rest on the toggle.

3.Retract the retaining cable slightly by slowly turning the crank clockwise several times.

4.Position the wheel so that it is not obstruc- ted by components in the exhaust system.

5.Continue to raise the wheel by turning the crank clockwise. Raise the wheel a little bit at a time and guide it around the rear axle until it is securely seated in the storage area.

6.When it is no longer possible to turn the crank any further, check that the spare wheel is securely in position in the storage compartment.
