JACKING AND TIRE CHANGING
WARNING!
•Getting under a jacked-up vehicle is dangerous.
The vehicle could slip off the jack and fall on you.
You could be crushed. Never get 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.
•The jack is designed to use 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
The jack and lug wrench are stored under the front
passenger seat. The jack handle driver and jack extension
are located in a kit that is stored on the floor board to the
right of the front passenger seat. On some models, this
tool kit is under the carpeting in the same location.
To remove the jack from its stowage position, carefully
release the rubber strap from the bracket. Turn the thumb
screw counterclockwise to loosen jack and then remove it
from the bracket.
