operate the vehicle. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Indicator Light/Brake Assist System (BAS) Warning
Light
• If the ESC/BAS warning light comes on continuously with the engine running, a malfunction has been detected.
• If this light remains on after several ignition cy cles, and the vehicle has been driven several miles
(kilometers) at speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h), we recommend you drive to the nearest
service center and have the vehicle serviced immediately.
- Charging System Light
• This light shows the status of the electrical charging system. If the charging system light remains on, it means that the vehicle is experiencing a problem with the charging system.
• We recommend you do not continue driving if the charging system light is on. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.

Spare Tire Removal Instructions
• The spare tire is located under the vehicle beneath the center console area.
1. Assemble the spare tire tools into a T-handle and place the square end over the spare tirewinch drive nut.
2. Rotate the nut to the left until the winch mechanism stops turning freely. This will allow enough slack in the cable to allow you to pull the spare tire out from underneath the vehicle.
3. To remove the compact spare tire/cover assembly, assemble the winch T-handle extensions to form a “T” and fit the winch T-handle over the drive nut, refer to “Assembling The Spare Tire
Hook” graphic in “Spare Tire Tools”. Rotate the nut to the left until the winch mechanism stops
turning freely. This will allow enough slack in the cable to allow you to pull the spare tire out
from under the vehicle.
NOTE:If either front tire is flat it may be
necessary to jack up the vehicle to remove the
compact spare tire/cover assembly from under
the vehicle.
4. Stand the tire/cover assembly upright and remove the wheel spacer by squeezing the
winch retaining tabs together. Push the
retainer through the spare tire to release it
from the wheel.
Preparations For Jacking
1. Park the vehicle on a firm, level surface. Avoid ice or slippery areas.
2. Turn on the Hazard Warning flasher.
3. Set the parking brake.
4. Place the shift lever into PARK.
5. Turn OFF the ignition.

• Block both the front and rear of the wheeldiagonally opposite the jacking position. For
example, if changing the right front tire,
block the left rear wheel.
NOTE: Passengers should not remain in the
vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked.
Jacking Instructions
NOTE: Refer to the “Compact Spare Tire” section of “Tires – General Information” for
information about the spare tire, its use, and operation.
1. 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.
2. There are two jack engagement locations on each side of the vehicle body. These locations are on the sill flange of the vehicle body.
Rear jack locations are between a pair of down-facing tabs on the sill flange of the vehicle side
body.
Front jack location is on the sill flange of the
vehicle body and is located 6 in (150 mm) from
door edge.

3. Turn the compact spare tire so that the valve stem is down, and place the tire into the sparetire/cover assembly. Slide the wheel spacer through the center of the wheel and spare
tire/cover assembly, so that the two retainer tabs snap out and engage the spare tire cover on
the opposite side.
4. Using the winch T-handle, rotate the drive nut to the right until the compact spare tire/cover assembly is drawn into place against the underside of the vehicle.
5. Continue to rotate the nut to the right until you hear the winch mechanism click three times. It cannot be overtightened. Check under the vehicle to ensure the compact spare tire/cover
assembly is positioned correctly against the underside of the vehicle.
Road Tire Installation
Vehicles Equipped With Wheel Covers
1. Mount the road tire on the axle.
2. To ease the installation process for steel wheels with wheel covers, install two lug nuts on the mounting studs which are on each side of the valve stem. Install the lug nuts with the cone
shaped end of the nut toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the lug nuts.
3. Align the valve notch in the wheel cover with the valve stem on the wheel. Install the cover by hand, snapping the cover over the two lug nuts. Do not use a hammer or excessive force to
install the cover.
4. Install the remaining lug nuts with the cone shaped end of the nut toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the lug nuts. To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the jack, do not tighten the lug
nuts fully until the vehicle is lowered to the ground.
5. Lower the vehicle to the ground by turning the jack handle counterclockwise.
6. Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on the wrench while at the end of the handle for increased leverage. Tighten the lug nuts in a star pattern until each nut has been tightened
twice. The correct tightness of each lug nut is 102 ft/lbs (138 N·m). If in doubt about the
correct tightness, have them checked with a torque wrench by your authorized dealer or
service station.
7. After 25 miles (40 km) check the lug nut torque with a torque wrench to ensure that all lug nuts are properly seated against the wheel.
Vehicles Without Wheel Covers 1. Mount the road tire on the axle.
2. Install the remaining lug nuts with the cone shaped end of the nut toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the lug nuts.
3. Lower the vehicle to the ground by turning the jack handle counterclockwise.
4. Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on the wrench while at the end of the handle for increased leverage. Tightening the lug nuts in a star pattern until each nut has been tightened

• Only use the jack in the positions indicated and for lifting this vehicle during a tirechange.
• If working on or near a roadway, be extremely careful of motor traffic.
• To assure that spare tires, flat or inflated, are securely stowed, spares must be stowed with the valve stem facing the ground.
• Getting under a jacked-up vehicle is dangerous. The vehicle could slip off the jack and fall on you. You could be crushed. Never get any part of your body under a vehicle that is
on a jack. If you need to get under a raised vehicle, take it to a service center where it can
be raised on a lift.
• Raising the vehicle higher than necessary can make the vehicle less stable. It could slip off the jack and hurt someone near it. Raise the vehicle only enough to remove the tire.
• To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the jack, do not tighten the lug nuts fully until the vehicle has been lowered.
• A loose tire or jack thrown forward in a collision or hard stop could endanger the occupants of the vehicle. Always stow the jack parts and the spare tire in the places
provided. Have the deflated (flat) tire repaired or replaced immediately.
• A loose compact spare tire/cover assembly, thrown forward in a collision or hard stop could endanger the occupants of the vehicle. Alway s stow the compact spare tire with
the cover assembly in the place provided.
• Verify that both retainer tabs of the wheel spacer have been properly extended through the center of the wheel and spare tire/cover assembly. Failure to properly engage both
retainer tabs could result in loss of the spare tire and cover assembly, which will cause
vehicle damage and may cause loss of vehicle control.
• To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the jack, do not tighten the lug nuts fully until the vehicle is lowered to the ground.
