Jack Location; Spare Tire Stowage; Preparations For Jacking - Jeep Liberty 2010 User Manual

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

Jack Location

• When the spare is clear, tilt the retainer at the end of the cable and pull it through the
center of the wheel.

Preparations For Jacking

• Park on a firm, level surface. Avoid ice or slippery areas.
• Set the parking brake and shift the automatic transmission into PARK.
• Turn the ignition to LOCK and turn on the Hazard Warning flasher.
• The scissor-type jack and tire changing tools
are located in the left rear trim panel behind
the second row seat.

Spare Tire Stowage

• To remove the spare tire, remove the
jack-handle components from the storage bin
in the left rear trim panel and assemble them.
• Lower the spare tire by turning the winch
drive nut, located in the rear cargo area
inside the vehicle, counterclockwise with the
jack-handle assembly until the spare tire is
on the ground with enough cable slack to
allow you to pull the spare tire out from
underneath the vehicle.
• Block both the front and rear of the wheel
diagonally opposite of the jacking 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.
