JACKING AND TIRE CHANGING
Jack Location
• The jack and jack-handle are stowed underneath a cover in the rear storage bin inthe cargo area.
• Remove the pouch containing the scissors jack, jack handle, and tools.
Spare Tire Stowage
NOTE: On Seven-Passenger Models, fold the third-row passenger seats flat. This will
provide more space when accessing the jacking tools and when operating the winch
mechanism.
• To remove the spare tire, remove the jack-handle components from the storage binin the cargo area and assemble them.
• Lower the spare tire by turning the spare tire drive nut, located in the jack storage area, counterclockwise with the jack-handle assembly until the spare tire is on the
ground with enough cable slack to allow you to pull the spare tire out from
underneath the vehicle.
• Raise the tire upright so the tire’s tread is on the ground and tilt the retainer at the end of the winch cable to remove it from the center of the wheel.

Jacking And Tire Changing Instructions
• Remove the spare tire, jack and tools from the stored location.
• Loosen (but do not remove) the wheel lug nuts by turning them counterclockwiseone 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 clockwise.
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 95 ft lbs (130 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.
• Place the deflated (flat) tire and compact spare tire cover assembly in the rear cargo area. Do not stow the deflated tire in the spare tire location. Have the full-sized
tire repaired or replaced as soon as possible.
• To stow the winch cable and retainer, fit the assembled jack-handle over the winch drive nut. Rotate the jack-handle assembly clockwise until you hear the winch
mechanism click three times.
• Secure the jack and tools in their proper locations.

WARNING!
• Do not attempt to change a tire on the side of the vehicle close to movingtraffic. Pull far enough off the road to avoid the danger of being hit when
operating the jack or changing the wheel.
• 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.
• The jack is designed to use as a tool for changing tires only. The jack should not be used to lift the vehicle for service purposes. The vehicle should be
jacked on a firm, level surface only. Avoid ice or slippery areas.
• If it is necessary to retrieve the spare tire from under the vehicle on the side of the vehicle close to moving traffic, pull far enough off the road to avoid the
danger of being hit.
• The compact spare tire is for emergency use only. Installation of this compact spare tire affects vehicle handling.
• Do not drive more than 50 mph (80 km/h) with a compact spare tire.
• Keep the compact spare tire inflated to the cold tire inflation pressure, listed on either your tire placard or limited use spare tire and wheel assembly.
• Replace (or repair) the original tire at the first opportunity and reinstall it on your vehicle. Failure to do so could result in loss of vehicle control.
• Carefully follow these tire changing procedures to help prevent personal injury or damage to your vehicle: Always park on a firm, level surface as far
from the edge of the roadway as possible before raising the vehicle.
• Raising the vehicle higher than necessary can make the vehicle less stable and could cause it to slip off the jack and hurt someone near it. Raise the
vehicle only enough to remove the tire.
• 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.
