WARNING: To help prevent the vehicle from moving when you
change a tire, be sure the parking brake is set, then block (in
both directions) the wheel that is diagonally opposite (other
side and end of the vehicle) to the tire being changed.
WARNING: Changing a tire is dangerous if not done properly.
If the vehicle slips off the jack, you or someone else could be
seriously injured. Be sure to follow the directions for changing
a tire, and never get under a vehicle that is supported only by a
jack.
WARNING: Do not attempt to change a tire on the side of the
vehicle close to moving traffic. Pull far enough off the road to
avoid the danger of being hit when operating the jack or
changing the wheel.1. Block the diagonally opposite wheel.
2. Loosen each wheel lug nut one-half turn counterclockwise
but do not remove them until
the wheel is raised off the
ground.
Before placing the jack under the vehicle, NOTE the jack locations:

3. Position the jack according tothe guides and turn the jack
handle clockwise until the tire is
a maximum of 1 inch (25 mm)
off the ground.
Never use the differentials as a
jacking point. WARNING: To lessen the risk
of personal injury, do not put
any part of your body under
the vehicle while changing a
tire. Do not start the engine
when your vehicle is on the
jack. The jack is only meant
for changing the tire.
4. Remove the lug nuts with the lug nut wrench.
5. Replace the flat tire with the spare tire, making sure the valve stem is facing outward. Reinstall lug nuts until the wheel is snug against
the hub. Do not fully tighten the lug nuts until the wheel has been
lowered.
6. Lower the wheel by turning the jack handle counterclockwise.
7. Remove the jack and fully tighten the lug nuts in the order
shown. Refer to Wheel lug nut
torque specifications later in
this chapter for the proper lug
nut torque specification.

1. Place tire on end with valvestem facing rearward, away
from vehicle.
2. Place tether into bolt holes in wheel and attach lug nut using
lug wrench.
3. Lay the tire on the ground with the valve stem facing down. If your vehicle is equipped with aluminum wheels, remove the wheel
ornament.
4. Slide the wheel partially under the vehicle and install the retainer through the center of the wheel.
5. Turn the jack handle clockwise until the tire is raised to its original position underneath the vehicle. The effort to turn the jack handle
increases significantly as the tire contacts the frame. The spare tire
carrier will ratchet when the tire is in the fully stowed position. The
spare tire carrier has a built-in ratchet feature that will not allow you
to overtighten. If the spare tire carrier ratchets with very little effort,
take the vehicle to your authorized dealer for assistance at your
earliest convenience. If your vehicle is equipped with a trailer
hitch, guide the tire with one hand; keep the rear of the tire
tilted down until the tire clears the bumper.
6. Check that the tire lies flat against the frame assembly. Push against the tire to make sure it is tightly seated under the vehicle. Loosen
and retighten, if necessary. Failure to properly stow the spare tire
may result in failure of the winch cable and loss of the spare tire.
(Make sure that the tire does not contact the bumper.)
7. Repeat this tightness check procedure (every six months, per scheduled maintenance information), when servicing the spare
tire pressure or at any time that the spare tire is disturbed through
service of other components.
