Storing the Jack and Spare Tire
Return the jack, wheel wrench and wheel blocks to the proper location in
your vehicle’s rear area. Secure
the items and replace the jack cover. Put the
flat tire where the spare tire was stored. If you have the underbody carrier:
1. Put the tire on the ground at the rear of the vehicle, with the valve stem
pointed down and to the rear.
2. Pull the retaining bar through the wheel.
3. Put the chisel end of the wheel wrench, on an angle, through the hole in
the rear bumper and into the hoist shaft. Turn the wheel wrench
clockwise until the tire is raised against the underside
of the vehicle.
You will hear two “clicks” when the tire is secure, but pull
on the tire to
make sure.

too fast. The method known as “rocking” can help you get out when you’re
stuck, but you must use caution.

If your vehicle has four-wheel drive, you will have a remote oil filter. There
is a special access door in the steering linkage shield assembly located under
the radiator support. Twist the screw to lock or unlock the door.
Engine Coolant Heater
An engine coolant heater can be a big help if you have to park outside in
very cold weather,
0°F (-18 “C) or colder. If your vehicle has this option,
see “Engine Coolant Heater” in
the Index.
What to Do with Used Oil
Did you know that used engine oil contains certain elements that may be
unhealthy for your skin and could even cause cancer? Don’t let used oil stay
on your skin for very long. Clean your skin and nails with soap and water,
or a good hand cleaner. Wash or properly throw away clothing or rags
containing used engine oil. (See the manufacturer’s warnings about the use
and disposal of oil products.)
Used oil can be a real threat to the environment. If you change your own oil,
be sure to drain all free-flowing oil from the filter before disposal. Don’t
ever dispose of oil by putting it in the trash, pouring
it on the ground, into
sewers, or into streams or bodies of water. Instead, recycle it by taking
it to
a place that collects used oil. If you have a problem properly disposing of
your used oil, ask your dealer, a service station or a local recycling center
for help.
Air Cleaner
To remove the rectangular air cleaner filter for the 4.3L (VIN W) engine,
open both clamps and push the rear
