An emergency like this requires close attention and a
quick decision.
If you are holding the steering wheel at
the recommended
9 and 3 o'clock positions, you can
turn
it a full 180 degrees vesy quickly without re~noving
either- hand.
But you have to act fast, steer quickly, and
just as quickly straighten the wheel once
YOLI have
avoided the object.
The fact that such emergency situations are ~dways
possible
is a good reason to practice defensive driving at
all times and wear safety belts properly.
Off-Road R covery
You may find sometime that your right wheels have
dropped
off the edge of a road onto the shoulder while
you're driving.
OFF-ROAD
QUARTER TURN LEFT APPROX.
SLOW DOWN
edge of paved surface
If the level of the shoulder is only slightly below the
pavement, recovery should
be fairly easy. Ease off the
accelerator and then,
if there is nothing in the way, steer
so that your vehicle straddles the edge of the pavement.
You can
turn the steering wheel up to one-quarter turn
until the right front tire contacts the pavement edge. Then
turn your steering wheel to
go straight down the roadway.

Attach the ratchet, with the DOWN side facing you, to
the extension. The extension has a socket end and a flat
chisel end.
Put the flat end of the extension on an angle through the
hole in the rear door frame, above the bumper. Be sure
the flat end connects into the hoist shaft.
Turn the ratchet counterclockwise to lower the spare tire
to the ground.
If you are changing a flat rear tire and the
vehicle is already jacked up, use the jack handle and
extension to hook the cable. Then pull the spare from
beneath the vehicle.
If the retainer pulls out, hook the inside
of the wheel and pull the
spare tire out from under
the vehicle.
When the tire has been lowered, tilt the retainer at the end
of the cable and pull it through the wheel opening.
NOTICE:
To help avoid vehicle damage, do not drive
vehicle before the cable is restored.
