JACKING AND TIRE CHANGING
Jack Location
• Your vehicle may be equipped with jack-ing and tire changing equipment.
• The jack, jack handle and winch handle tools are stowed behind the rear left side
trim panel in the rear cargo area. Turn the
two cover latches to release the cover.
• Remove the pouch containing the scis- sors jack, jack handle, and tools.
Spare Tire Removal
• The spare tire is stowed inside a protec-tive cover located under the center of the
vehicle between the front doors by means
of a cable winch mechanism. The “spare
tire drive” nut is located on the floor, under
a plastic cap at the front of the floor con-
sole or under front super console forward bin liner.

Preparations For Jacking
1. Park the vehicle on a firm, level surface. Avoid ice or slippery areas.
2. Turn on the Hazard Warning flasher.
3. Set the parking brake.
4. Place the shift lever into PARK.
5. Turn OFF the ignition.
NOTE:
Passengers should not remain in the vehicle
when the vehicle is being jacked.
• Block both the front and rear of the wheeldiagonally opposite the jacking position.
For example, if changing the right front
tire, block the left rear wheel.
Jacking Instructions
1. 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.

Front jack location is on the sill flange of the vehicle body and is located 6 in (150 mm)
from door edge.
NOTE:
In some situations the jack may need to be
placed on its side in order to be pushed un-
der the vehicle. Return the jack to its correct
orientation once it is under the vehicle.
3. Place the wrench on the jack screw and turn to the right until the jack head is
properly engaged in the described loca-
tion. Do not raise the vehicle until you
are sure the jack is securely engaged.
4. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack screw to the right, using the swivel
wrench. 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 lug nuts, for vehicles with wheel covers, remove the cover from the wheel by hand. Do not pry the wheel cover off. Then pull the wheel off the hub.
6. Install the compact spare tire. Lightly tighten the lug nuts.
NOTE:
• Do not install the wheel cover on thecompact spare.
• Do not use a hammer or force to install the wheel covers.
7. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw to the left.
8. 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. The correct wheel nut tightness 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 at a service station.
9. Lower the jack to its fully-closed position.

Vehicles Without Wheel Covers
1. Mount the road tire on the axle.
2. Install the remaining lug nuts with the cone 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 counterclockwise.
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. 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!
• The winch mechanism is designed for use with the winch T-handle only. Use of air wrench or other power tools is not recommended and can damage the winch.
• Do not attempt to raise the vehicle by jacking on locations other than those indicated
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.
• The compact spare tire/cover assembly must be used when the compact spare tire is
stored. Failure to use this cover could drastically reduce the life of the compact spare
tire.
• The winch mechanism is designed specifically to stow a compact spare tire only. Do
not attempt to use the winch to stow the full size flat tire, or any other full-size tire.
Vehicle damage may result.
