WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES 10. Remove the Dodge center cap using a jack tool from inside the aluminum road wheel and snap on the protective plastic plate. NOTE: The plastic plate will prevent the road wheel from being scratched when sliding it under the vehicle. 11. Stand the wheel up against the bumper with the plastic plate facing you. 12. Slide the cable end, spring and metal tube through the wheel and plastic plate. Rotate the stamping on the cable and push it through the wheel and plastic plate. Snap the stamping into place. 13. Slide the road wheel on the ground using the protective plate until it is directly under the winch and between the rear bumper and exhaust system heat shields. Raise the tire by turning the lug wrench on the winch extension clockwise until it clicks/skips three times to make sure the cable is tight. NOTE: 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. 14. Lower the jack to the fully closed position. Return the tools to the proper positions in the tool bag. Fold the flap on the tool bag under the tools and roll the tools in the bag underneath the others. Use the Velcro straps to secure the tool bag to the jack with the lug wrench on the forward side of the jack. Expand the jack on the bracket by turning the thumb screw clockwise until it is tight to prevent rattles. 98
