Jacking up vehicle and removing
the damaged tire
WARNING
• Never get under the vehicle while it is
supported only by the jack. If it is neces-
sary to work under the vehicle, support it
with safety stands.
• Use only the jack provided with your ve-
hicle to lift the vehicle. Do not use the
jack provided with your vehicle on other
vehicles. The jack is designed for lifting
only your vehicle during a tire change.
• Use the correct jack-up points. Never use
any other part of the vehicle for jack
support.
• If your vehicle is equipped with Running
Boards use the Jack Point located on the
front or rear mounting brackets.
• Never jack up the vehicle more than
necessary.
• Never use blocks on or under the jack. •
Do not start or run the engine while ve-
hicle is on the jack. It may cause the ve-
hicle to move. This is especially true for
vehicles with limited slip differentials.
• Do not allow passengers to stay in the
vehicle while it is on the jack.
• Never run the engine with a wheel(s) off
the ground. It may cause the vehicle to
move.

ened wheel nuts can cause the wheel to
become loose or come off. This could
cause an accident.
• Do not use oil or grease on the wheel
studs or nuts. This could cause the nuts
to become loose.
• Retighten the wheel nuts when the ve-
hicle has been driven for 621 miles
(1,000 km) (also in cases of a flat tire,
etc.).
As soon as possible, tighten the wheel nuts
to the specified torque with a torque wrench.
Wheel nut tightening torque: 83 ft-lb (113 N·m) The wheel nuts must be kept tightened to
specification at all times. It is recommended
that wheel nuts be tightened to specifica-
tions at each lubrication interval.
Adjust tire pressure to the COLD pressure.
COLD pressure: After vehicle has been
parked for 3 hours or more or driven less
than 1 mile (1.6 km).
COLD tire pressures are shown on the Tire

• Always make sure that the spare tire and
jacking equipment are properly secured
after use. Such items can become dan-
gerous projectiles in an accident or sud-
den stop.
• The spare tire is designed for emergency
use. For additional information, see
“Wheels and tires” (P. 8-28). To start your engine with a booster battery,
the instructions and precautions below must
be followed.
WARNING
• If done incorrectly, jump starting can
lead to a battery explosion, resulting in
severe injury or death. It could also dam-
age your vehicle.
• Explosive hydrogen gas is always pres-
ent in the vicinity of the battery. Keep all
sparks and flames away from the
battery.
• Do not allow battery fluid to come into
contact with eyes, skin, clothing or
painted surfaces. Battery fluid is a corro-
sive sulfuric acid solution which can
cause severe burns. If the fluid should
come into contact with anything, imme-
diately flush the contacted area with
water.
