4. For a rear tire, place the jack in the slot on the
rear tie-down bracket, just forward of the rear
tire (as indicated by the triangular lift point
symbol on the sill molding). Do not raise the
vehicle until you are sure the jack is fully
engaged.
CAUTION!
Do NOT raise the vehicle by the body side sill
molding. Be sure the jack is placed in the proper
engagement location on the inside of the panel.
Damage of the vehicle may occur if the
procedure is not properly followed.

5. 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.
WARNING!
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.
6. Remove the lug nuts and wheel.
7. 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.
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
CAUTION!
Be sure to mount the spare tire with the valve
stem facing outward. The vehicle could be
damaged if the inflatable spare tire is mounted
incorrectly.

WARNING!
To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the
jack, do not tighten the wheel nuts fully until the
vehicle has been lowered. Failure to follow this
warning may result in serious injury.
8. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw
counterclockwise, and remove the jack and
wheel blocks.
