JACKING AND TIRE
CHANGING
WARNING!
• Do not attempt to change a tire on the
side of the vehicle close to moving traf-
fic. 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 dan-
gerous. 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.
Jack Location/Spare Tire Stowage
The jack, wheel chocks, and spare tire are
stowed under the load floor behind the rear
seat.
1. Open the liftgate.
2. Lift the load floor handle, then lift access
cover to locate jack and tools.3. Remove the hook from the stowed posi-
tion on the back side of the load floor and
place the hook over the top body flange
and weather seal. This will hold the load
floor up while obtaining the jack and
spare tire.
4. Remove the fastener securing the jack
and spare tire.
5. Remove the chocks.
6. Remove the scissors jack and wheel bolt
wrench from the spare wheel as an assem-
bly. Turn the jack screw to the left to
loosen the wheel bolt wrench, and remove
the wrench from the jack assembly.
NOTE:
The jack handle attaches to the side of the
jack with two attachment points. When
the jack is partially expanded, the tension
between the two attachment points holds
the jack handle in place.
