CAUTION!
When installing the power distribution
center cover, it is important to ensure
the cover is properly positioned and fully
latched. Failure to do so may allow water
to get into the power distribution center
and possibly result in an electrical
system failure.
When replacing a blown fuse, it is
important to use only a fuse having the
correct amperage rating. The use of a
fuse with a rating other than indicated
may result in a dangerous electrical
system overload. If a properly rated fuse
continues to blow, it indicates a problem
in the circuit that must be corrected.
WARNING!
Do not attempt to change a tire on the
side of the vehicle close to moving
traffic. Pull far enough off the road to
avoid the danger of being hit when oper-
ating the jack or changing the wheel.
Being under a jacked-up vehicle is
dangerous. The vehicle could slip off the
jack and fall on you. You could be
crushed. Never put any part of your body
under a vehicle that is on a jack. If you
need to get under a raised vehicle, take
it to a service center where it can be
raised on a lift.
Never start or run the engine while the
vehicle is on a jack.
The jack is designed to be used as a tool
for changing tires only. The jack should
not be used to lift the vehicle for service
purposes. The vehicle should be jacked
on a firm level surface only. Avoid ice or
slippery areas.

Jacking Instructions
Jack Warning Label1. Remove the spare tire, jack and tools
from the stored location.
2. Loosen (but do not remove) the wheel lug nuts by turning them to the left one turn
while the wheel is still on the ground.
3. Assemble the jack and jacking tools. Connect the jack handle driver to the
extension, then to the lug wrench.
Assembled Jack And Tools
WARNING!
Carefully follow these tire changing
warnings to help prevent personal injury or
damage to your vehicle:
Always park on a firm, level surface as
far from the edge of the roadway as
possible before raising the vehicle.
Turn on the Hazard Warning flashers.
Block the wheel diagonally opposite the
wheel to be raised.
Apply the parking brake firmly and shift
an automatic transmission to PARK.
Never start or run the engine with the
vehicle on a jack.
Do not let anyone sit in the vehicle when
it is on a jack.
Do not get under the vehicle when it is
on a jack. If you need to get under a
raised vehicle, take it to a service center
where it can be raised on a lift.
Only use the jack in the positions indi -
cated and for lifting this vehicle during a
tire change.
If working on or near a roadway, be
extremely careful of motor traffic.
To assure that spare tires, flat or
inflated, are securely stowed, spares
must be stowed with the valve stem
facing the ground.
WARNING! (Continued) CAUTION!
Do not attempt to raise the vehicle by
jacking on locations other than those
indicated.

5. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack screw clockwise. Raise the vehicle only
until the tire just clears the surface and
enough clearance is obtained to install
the spare tire. Minimum tire lift provides
maximum stability. 6. Remove the lug nuts and wheel.
7. Mount the spare tire on the axle.
8. Install the lug nuts with the cone-shaped
end toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the
lug nuts clockwise.
9. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw to the counterclockwise, and
remove the jack. WARNING!
Raising the vehicle higher than necessary
can make the vehicle less stable. It could
slip off the jack and hurt someone near it.
Raise the vehicle only enough to remove
the tire.
WARNING!
To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off
the jack, do not tighten the wheel nuts
fully until the vehicle has been lowered.
Failure to follow this warning may result in
serious injury.

10. Finish tightening the lug nuts. Pushdown on the wrench while tightening for
increased leverage. Alternate nuts until
each nut has been tightened twice. Refer
to “Wheel And Tire Torque Specifica -
tions” in “Technical Specifications” for
correct lug nut torque.
11. After 25 miles (40 km), check the lug nut torque with a torque wrench to
ensure that all lug nuts are properly
seated against the wheel.
12. Remove the jack assembly and wheel blocks.
13. Secure the jack and tools in their proper locations.
14. Secure the damaged wheel/tire on the spare tire carrier. Torque down lug nuts
and locking lug nut.
15. Return the lock bolt to the lock position on the camera cover by turning the lock
clockwise using the provided #40 Torx
head driver and ratchet. Then, reinstall
the camera cover by slipping it over the
camera/tire carrier until it snaps into
place.
Road Tire Installation
1. Mount the road tire on the axle.
2. Install the remaining lug nuts with thecone shaped end of the nut toward the
wheel. Lightly tighten the lug nuts. 3. Lower the vehicle to the ground by
turning the jack handle counterclock -
wise.
4. Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on the wrench while at the end of
the handle for increased leverage.
Tighten the lug nuts in a star pattern
until each nut has been tightened twice.
For the correct lug nut torque refer to
“Wheel And Tire Torque Specifications”
in “Technical Specifications”. If in doubt
about the correct tightness, have them
checked with a torque wrench by an
authorized dealer or service station.
5. After 25 miles (40 km), check the lug nut torque with a torque wrench to
ensure that all lug nuts are properly
seated against the wheel.
WARNING!
A loose tire or jack thrown forward in a
collision or hard stop, could endanger the
occupants of the vehicle. Always stow the
jack parts and the spare tire in the places
provided.
WARNING!
To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off
the jack, do not tighten the wheel nuts
fully until the vehicle has been lowered.
Failure to follow this warning may result in
serious injury.
