NOTICE:
Raising your vehicle with the jack improperly positioned will
damage the vehicle or may allow the vehicle to fall
off the jack.
Be sure to fit the jack lift head into the proper location before
raising your vehicle.
Front Position

Raise the vehicle by rotating the ratchet to the right. Make sure the UP
marking faces you. Use the jack handle extentions if the flat is on the rear of
the vehicle. Raise the vehicle far enough off the ground so there is enough
room for the spare tire to fit.
Remove all the wheel
nuts and take off the
flat tire.
