Jacking And Tire Changing Instructions

• Remove the spare tire, jack and tools from their stored location.
• Loosen (but do not remove) the wheel lug nuts by turning them counterclockwise one
turn while the wheel is still on the ground.
• Assemble the jack and jacking tools. Connect the jack handle driver to the extension,
then to the lug wrench.
• Place the jack:
• For front wheels, place the jack and protective cap right under the triangle on the
body flange, just behind the front tire.

• 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.
• For rear wheels, place the jack and
protective cap right under the triangle
on the rear tie-down bracket, just
forward of the rear tire.
