• Position the spare wheel/tire on the vehicle and install the lug nuts with the cone-shaped end
toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the lug nuts clockwise. To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle
off the jack, do not tighten the nuts fully until the vehicle has been lowered.
• Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw counterclockwise, and remove the jack and wheel
blocks.
• Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on the wrench while tightening for increased leverage.
Alternate nuts until each one has been tightened twice. The correct wheel nut tightness is 95 ft
lbs (130 N•m). If in doubt about the correct tightness, have them checked with a torque wrench
by your authorized dealer or at a service station.
• Place the deflated (flat) tire and compact spare tire cover assembly in the rear cargo area. DO
NOT stow the deflated tire in the spare tire location. Have the full-sized tire repaired or
replaced as soon as possible.
• To stow the winch cable and wheel spacer, fit the assembled jack-handle over the winch drive
nut. Rotate the jack-handle assembly clockwise until you hear the winch mechanism click three
times.
• Secure the jack and tools in their proper locations.
• 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.
• 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.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
WARNING!
• Rear jack locations are between a pair of
down-facing tabs on the sill flange of the
vehicle side body.
• Front jack locations are on the sill flange of
the vehicle side body and align with front
door edges.
• Turn the jack screw clockwise to firmly
engage the jack saddle with the lift area of
the sill flange.
• 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.
• Remove the lug nuts and wheel.
