JACKING AND TIRE CHANGING
Jack Location

Spare Tire Removal • Lift up the load floor cover and remove the hold down.
Preparations For Jacking
1. Park the vehicle on a firm level surface, avoiding ice or slippery areas.
2. Turn on the Hazard Warning flasher.
3. Set the parking brake.
4. Place the shift lever in PARK (automatic transmission) or REVERSE (manual transmission).
5. Turn OFF the ignition.
Block both the front and rear of the wheel
diagonally opposite the jacking position.
For example, if changing the right front tire,
block the left rear wheel.
NOTE:Passengers should not remain in the
vehicle while the vehicle is being jacked.

Jacking Instructions
NOTE:Refer to “Tires — General
Information” in “Starting And Operating” in
the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further
information about the spare tire, it's use,
and operation.
1.
Remove the scissors jack and lug
wrench from the spare wheel as an
assembly. Turn the jack screw to the left
to loosen the lug wrench and remove
the wrench from the jack assembly.
2. Loosen, but do not remove, the wheel nuts by turning them to the left one turn while the wheel is still on the ground.
NOTE: There are front and rear jacking locations on each side of the body. The front
locations are outlined by two triangular cutouts, the rear locations by two rectangular
cutouts.

• For vehicles equipped with plastic trim,the plastic has been cut away to expose
the jacking locations in the body.
• Do not raise the vehicle until you are sure the jack is securely engaged.
3. Turn the jack screw to the left until the jack can be placed under the
jacking location. Once the jack is
positioned, turn the jack screw to the
right until the jack head is properly
engaged with the lift area closest to
the wheel to be changed.
4. Using the swivel wrench raise the vehicle by turning the jack screw to
the right. 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.
5. Remove the wheel nuts and pull the wheel and wheel covers, where
applicable, off the hub. Install the
spare wheel and wheel nuts with the
cone shaped end of the nuts toward
the wheel. Lightly tighten the nuts.
NOTE: The wheel cover is held on the
wheel by the wheel nuts. When
reinstalling the original wheel, properly
align the wheel cover to the valve stem,
place the wheel cover onto the wheel,
then install the wheel nuts.
6. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw to the left.
7. Finish tightening the 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.
The correct wheel nut torque is 100 ft
lbs (135 N·m). If you doubt that you
have tightened the nuts correctly,
have them checked with a torque
wrench by your authorized dealer or
service station.

4. Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on the wrench while at the end of thehandle for increased leverage. Tighten the lug nuts in a star pattern until each nut
has been tightened twice. The correct tightness of each lug nut is 100 ft/lbs
(135 N·m). If in doubt about the correct tightness, have them checked with a
torque wrench by your 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.
CAUTION!
• Do not attempt to raise the vehicle by jacking on locations other than thoseindicated in the Jacking Instructions for this vehicle.
• Be sure to mount the spare tire with the valve stem facing outward. The vehicle could be damaged if the spare tire is mounted incorrectly.
WARNING!
• Do not attempt to change a tire on the side of the vehicle close to movingtraffic. Pull far enough off the road to avoid the danger of being hit when
operating 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.
• 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 flasher.
• Block the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to be raised.
• Set the parking brake firmly and set an automatic transmission in PARK; a manual transmission in REVERSE.
• 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.
• Only use the jack in the positions indicated and for lifting this vehicle during a tire change.
• If working on or near a roadway, be extremely careful of motor traffic.
