square end of the jack handle. 1.
Use the ignition key to open the lock at
the rear bumper.
2. Fully insert the jack handle, with one extension, through the bumper hole
and into the guide tube. You feel some
resistance when you turn the jack
handle assembly.
3. Turn the handle counterclockwise and
lower the spare tire until you can slide
the tire rearward and the cable is slack.
4. Remove the retainer through the center
of the wheel. 5. If not replacing the spare or flat tire to
the underbody storage area, raise the
wheel retainer up into the installed
position.
Tire Change Procedure WARNINGS
When one of the front wheels is off
the ground, the transmission alone
will not prevent the vehicle from
moving or slipping off the jack, even if the
transmission is in park (P).

WARNINGS
To help prevent your vehicle from
moving when changing a wheel, shift
the transmission into park (P), set
the parking brake and use an appropriate
block or wheel chock to secure the wheel
diagonally opposite to the wheel being
changed. For example, when changing the
front left wheel, place an appropriate block
or wheel chock on the right rear wheel. Do not get under a vehicle that is only
supported by a vehicle jack.
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
operating the jack or changing the wheel. Always use the jack provided as
original equipment with your vehicle.
If using a jack other than the one
provided, make sure the jack capacity is
adequate for the vehicle weight, including
any vehicle cargo or modifications. If you
are unsure if the jack capacity is adequate,
contact the authorized dealer. Only use the spare wheel carrier to
stow the wheel provided with your
vehicle. Other wheel sizes could
cause the spare wheel carrier to fail if it
does not fit securely or is too heavy. Note:
Do not use impact tools or power
tools operating at over 200 RPM on the
spare wheel carrier winch, which may cause
it to malfunction and prevent a secure fit.
Override the winch at least three times
(there is an audible click each time) to make
sure the wheel and tire fit securely.
Note: Passengers should not remain in the
vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked.
Park on a level surface, set the parking
brake and activate the hazard flashers. 1.
Turn the engine off and block the wheel
that is diagonally opposite of the flat
tire using the wheel chock.
Note: Lock the manual hub on the wheel
if the vehicle is a 4x4.
2. Remove the jack, jack handle, lug wrench and spare tire from the
stowage locations.
3. Use the tip of the lug wrench to remove
any wheel trim.
4. Loosen each wheel lug nut ½ turn counterclockwise, but do not remove
them until the wheel is raised off the
ground.
Note: For vehicles with dual rear wheels,
insert the lug wrench extension into the lug
wrench to reach the lug nuts.

Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor
Your vehicle has an Intelligent Oil-Life
Monitor that determines when you should
change the engine oil based on how you
use your vehicle. By using several
important factors in its calculations, the
monitor helps reduce the cost of owning
your vehicle and reduces environmental
waste at the same time. This means you do not have to remember
to change the oil on a mileage-based
schedule. Your vehicle lets you know when
an oil change is due by displaying a
message in the information display.
The following table provides examples of
vehicle use and its impact on oil change
intervals. It is a guideline only. Actual oil
change intervals depend on several factors
and generally decrease with severity of
use.When to Expect the Message Prompting You to Change Your Oil
