Jacking And Tire Changing Instructions
• Remove the spare tire, jack and lug wrench.
• If equipped with steel wheels, do not remove the wheel cover at this time. Ifequipped with aluminum wheels where the center cap covers the lug nuts, use the
lug wrench to pry the center cap off carefully before raising the vehicle.
• Loosen (but do not remove) the wheel lug nuts by turning them counterclockwise one turn while the wheel is still on the ground.
• Assemble the jack and jacking tools. Connect the jack handle driver to the extension, then to the lug wrench.
• Place the jack underneath the lift area that is closest to the flat tire. Turn the jack screw clockwise to firmly engage the jack saddle with the lift area of the sill flange.
• Raise the vehicle by turning the jackscrew clockwise. Raise the vehicle only
until the tire just clears the surface
and enough clearance is obtained to
install the spare tire.
• Remove the lug nuts, wheel cover (if equipped) and wheel.
• Position the spare wheel/tire on the vehicle and install the lug nuts with
the cone-shaped end toward the wheel.
Do NOT attempt to install a center cap
or wheel cover on the compact spare.
Lightly tighten the lug nuts. To avoid
the risk of forcing the vehicle off the
jack, do not tighten the nuts fully until
the vehicle has been lowered.
• Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw counterclockwise, and remove
the jack and wheel blocks.
• Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on the wrench while tightening
for increased leverage. Alternate nuts
until each one has been tightened
twice. The correct wheel nut tightness
is 100 ft lbs (135 N•m). If in doubt
about the correct tightness, have them
checked with a torque wrench by your
authorized dealer or at a service
station.
• Secure the tire, jack (base of jack faces front of vehicle), and tools in their proper locations.

booster pack follow the manufacturer’s
operating instructions and precautions.

located on the right side of the engine compartment for jump-starting.
NOTE: The remote battery posts are viewed by standing on the right side of the vehicle
looking over the fender.
• Set the parking brake, shift the automatic transmission into PARK and turn theignition to LOCK.
• Turn off the heater, radio, and all unnecessary electrical accessories.
• If using another vehicle to jump-start the battery, park the vehicle within the jumper cables reach, set the parking brake and make sure the ignition is OFF.
Jump-Starting Procedure
• Connect the positive (+) end of the jumper cable to the remote positive (+) post ofthe discharged vehicle.
• Connect the opposite end of the positive (+) jumper cable to the positive (+) post of the booster battery.
• Connect the negative end (-) of the jumper cable to the negative (-) post of the booster battery.
• Connect the opposite end of the negative (-) jumper cable to the remote negative (-) post of the vehicle with the discharged battery.
• Start the engine in the vehicle that has the booster battery, let the engine idle a few minutes, and then start the engine in the vehicle with the discharged battery.
Once the engine is started, remove the jumper cables in the reverse sequence:
• Disconnect the negative (-) jumper cable from the remote negative (-) post of the vehicle with the discharged battery.
• Disconnect the negative end (-) of the jumper cable from the negative (-) post of the booster battery.
