JACKING AND TIRE CHANGING
WARNING!
•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.
• 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.
Run Flat Tires
This vehicle is equipped with “run flat” tires. Run flat tires
allow the vehicle to be driven approximately 50 miles
(80km) at 55 mph (88km/h). Tire service should be ob-
tained to avoid prolonged run flat feature usage.
WARNING!
Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) if the “Tire Pressure
Monitoring Telltale Light” is illuminated. Vehicle han-
dling and braking may be reduced. You could have a
collision and be severely or fatally injured.

Jack Location
The scissor-type jack and tire changing tools are located in
rear cargo area, below the load floor.
NOTE:The funnel for the Cap-Less Fuel System is located
on top of the spare tire. If your vehicle is out of fuel and an
auxiliary fuel can is needed, insert the funnel into the filler
neck and proceed to fill the vehicle. For vehicles not
equipped with a spare tire, the fuel filler funnel is stored in
the left storage bin under the load floor. For more informa-
tion on the Cap-Less Fuel System refer to “Refueling The
Vehicle” in “Starting And Operating” in this manual.
Spare Tire Stowage
The spare tire is stowed under the load floor in the rear
cargo area and is secured to the body with a special wing
nut.
Preparations For Jacking
CAUTION!
Always lift or jack the vehicle from the correct jacking
points. Failure to follow this information could cause
damage to the vehicle or underbody components.
1. Park the vehicle on a firm, level surface. Avoid ice or slippery surfaces.
WARNING!
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 being hit when operating the jack or
changing the wheel.

6. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack screw clockwise.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.

Raising the vehicle higher than necessary can make the
vehicle less stable. It could slip off the jack and hurt
someone near it. Raise the vehicle only enough to
remove the tire.
7. Remove the lug nuts and wheel. 8. Position the spare wheel/tire on the vehicle and install
the lug nuts with the cone-shaped end toward the
wheel. Lightly tighten the nuts.
CAUTION!
Be sure to mount the inflatable spare tire with the
valve stem facing outward. The vehicle could be dam-
aged if the inflatable spare tire is mounted incorrectly.
