WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
• 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.
Jacking And Tire Changing Instructions
Carefully follow these tire changing procedures to help prevent personal injury or
damage to your vehicle: Always park on a firm, level surface as far from the edge of
the roadway as possible before raising the vehicle.
• Remove the spare tire, jack and tools from their stored location.
• 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.
• Assemble the jack and jacking tools. Connect the jack handle driver to the extension,
then to the lug wrench.
NOTE: There are two jack engagement locations on each side of the vehicle body. These
locations are on the sill flange of the vehicle body.
• Place the jack:
• Rear jack locations are between a pair of down-facing tabs on the sill flange of the
vehicle side body.
• Front jack locations are on the sill flange of the vehicle side body and align with
front door edges.
• Turn the jack screw clockwise to firmly engage the jack saddle with the lift area of
the sill flange.
• 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.
NOTE: Passengers should not remain in the
vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked.
