Preparations For Jacking

Park the vehicle on a firm level surface, avoid ice or
slippery areas, set the parking brake and place the gear
selector in P (Park). Turn OFF the ignition.
WARNING!
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.
• Turn on the Hazard Warning Flasher.
• Block both the front and rear
of the wheel diagonally oppo-
site of the jacking position.
For example, if changing the right front tire, block the
left rear wheel.
• Passengers should not remain in the vehicle when the
vehicle is being jacked.

Jacking Instructions

1. Remove the spare tire, jack, and tools from storage.
2. Loosen (but do not remove) the wheel lug nuts by
turning them to the left one turn while the wheel is still
on the ground.
3. Assemble the jack and jacking tools as shown. Connect
jack handle driver (A) to two extensions (B), then to the
lug wrench (C).
