Roadside Emergencies Removing the spare tire 1. Remove the jack handle and winch extension from the tray and assemble them. 2. Open the spare tire winch access plug in the bottom of the compartment for the jack and tools tray. 3. Insert the winch extension tool assembly through the access hole in the floor and engage the winch. 4. To remove the spare tire, turn the handle counterclockwise until the tire is lowered to the ground and the cable is slightly slack. 5. Slide the retainer through the center of the spare tire wheel. Tire change procedure WARNING: To help prevent the vehicle from moving when you change a tire, be sure the parking brake is set, then block the wheels (both front or both rear) on the opposite end of the vehicle from the wheel being changed. If on a grade, block both opposite wheels on the downward side of the hill. WARNING: If the vehicle slips off the jack, you or someone else could be seriously injured. WARNING: On vehicles equipped with air suspension, turn off the Air Suspension system prior to jacking, hoisting or towing your vehicle. WARNING: Turn off the running boards (if equipped) before jacking or placing any object under the vehicle. Never place your hand between the extended running board and the vehicle. A moving running board may cause injury. 290 2011 Expedition (exd) Owners Guide, 1st Printing USA (fus)
