Spare Tire Location

The spare tire is stowed underneath the rear of the
vehicle and is held in place by means of a cable winch
mechanism.

Preparations For Jacking

1. Park the vehicle on a firm level surface as far from the
edge of the roadway as possible, avoid icy or slippery
areas.
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 the danger of being hit when
operating the jack or changing the wheel.
2. Set the parking brake.
3. Place the shift lever in PARK.

4. Turn OFF the ignition.
5. Turn on the Hazard Warning flashers.
6. Block both the front and rear of the
wheel diagonally opposite of the jack-
ing 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.

Spare Tire Removal

NOTE: On Seven-Passenger Models, fold the third-row
passenger seats flat. This will provide more space when
accessing the jacking tools and when operating the winch
mechanism.
