Rear Jacking Location
Do not raise the vehicle until you are sure the
jack is securely engaged.

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.
4. Using the swivel wrench raise the vehicle by
turning the jack screw to the right. 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.
5. Remove the wheel nuts and pull the wheel
and wheel covers, where applicable, off the
hub. Install the spare wheel and wheel nuts with
the cone shaped end of the nuts toward the
wheel. Lightly tighten the nuts.
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 personal injury.
