The equipment you’ll need is located in the rear cargo
area. You’ll also find your spare tire there.
On two-door Utility and Suburban models, the spare tire
is located at the rear
of the vehicle. To remove the spare
tire, first open the tire cover, if you have one. Turn the
wing nut counterclockwise and take it, and the adapter,
off the bolt. Take the tire out
of the vehicle and remove
the tire cover.
On four-door utility models, the spare tire may be stored
under the vehicle in an underbody carrier.

Your vehicle ignition
must be in the
OFF
position during refueling of the vehicle.
The fuel cap is behind
a hinged door on the left side of
your vehicle.
To take off the cap, turn it slowly to the left
(counterclockwise).
I
Gasoline vapor is highly flammable. It burns
violently, and that can cause very bad injuries.
Don’t smoke if you’re near gasoline or refueling
your vehicle. Keep sparks, flames and smoking
materials away from gasoline.
A CAUTION:
If you get gasoline on yourself and then
something ignites it, you could be badly burned.
Gasoline can spray out on you if you open the
fuel filler cap too quickly. This spray can happen
if your tank
is nearly full, and is more likely in
hot weather. Open the fuel filler cap slowly and
wait for any “hiss” noise to stop. Then unscrew
the cap all the
way.
