6. Block both the front and rear of the wheel diagonally opposite of the jacking position.
For example, if changing the right front tire, block the left rear wheel.
NOTE:
Passengers should not remain in the vehicle
when the vehicle is being jacked.
Spare Tire Removal
NOTE:
On seven-passenger models, fold the third-row passenger seats flat. This will provide more
space when accessing the jacking tools and when operating the winch mechanism.
1. Remove the jack-handle components 1, 2 and 3 from storage and assemble them.
NOTE:
Assemble components 2 and 3 by seating the
small ball at the end of component 2 in the
small hole at the end of component 3. This will
lock these components together. Assemble
components 1 and 2 so that the wheel nut
socket at the end of component 1 faces up-
ward when seated on component 2. This will
make it easier to rotate the assembly when
operating the winch mechanism.
2. Fit the assembled jack-handle over the
winch drive nut located in the jack stor-
age area. Rotate the jack-handle assem-
bly counterclockwise until the spare tire
is on the ground with enough cable slack
to allow you to pull the spare tire out
from underneath the vehicle.
3. Pull the spare tire out from underneath
the vehicle and raise it upright so the
tire's tread is on the ground.
4. Tilt the retainer at the end of the winch cable and remove it from the center of the
wheel.
