Jacking Instructions

1. Remove the scissors jack and lug wrench
from the spare wheel as an assembly. Turn
the jack screw to the left to loosen the lug
wrench, and remove the wrench from the
jack assembly.
NOTE:
The jack handle attaches to the side of the jack
with two attachment points. When the jack is
partially expanded, the tension between the
two attachment points holds the jack handle in
place.
2. Loosen, but do not remove, the wheel nuts
by turning them to the left one turn while
the wheel is still on the ground.
3. There is a front and rear jacking location on
each side of the vehicle.
4. Turn the jack screw to the left until the jack
can be placed under the jacking location.
Once the jack is positioned, turn the jack
screw to the right until the jack head is prop-
erly engaged with the lift area closest to the
wheel to be changed. Do not raise the ve-
hicle until you are sure the jack is securely
engaged.
5. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack screw
to the right, using the swivel wrench. Raise
the vehicle only until the tire just clears the
surface and enough clearance is obtained to
install the spare tire. Minimum tire lift pro-
vides maximum stability.
