374 WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES NOTE: Tire should be stowed with the "beauty" side up. Storing the tire upside down may result in scratching or damage to the wheel face. Continue winching up the tire until you hear the winch "ratchet" three times. Double check to ensure the tire is snug against the underbody of the vehicle. Damage to the winch cable may result if the vehicle is driven with the tire loose. JUMP STARTING If the vehicle has a discharged battery, booster cables may be used to obtain a start from a booster battery or the battery in another vehicle. This type of start can be dangerous if done improperly, so follow this procedure carefully. WARNING! Do not use power tools to winch the tire up or down. Impact type tools may damage the winch mechanism. 12. Reinstall the rubber plug into the floor of the cargo area.
