into REVERSE.

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.

4. Operate the jack from the front or the rear of the vehicle. Place the jack
under the axle tube, as shown.Do not raise the vehicle until you are
sure the jack is fully engaged.
5. Raise the vehicle by turning the
jack screw to the right. Raise the
vehicle only until the tire just
clears the surface and enough
clearance is obtained to install
the spare tire. Minimum tire lift
provides maximum stability.
6. Remove the lug nuts and wheel.
7. Position the spare wheel/tire on
the vehicle and install the lug
nuts with the cone-shaped end
toward the wheel. Lightly tighten
the lug nuts clockwise.
8. Lower the vehicle by turning the
jack screw to the left, and remove
the jack.
9. Finish tightening the lug nuts.
Push down on the wrench while
tightening for increased leverage.
Alternate nuts until each nut 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.
10. Remove the jack assembly and
wheel blocks.
11. Secure the tire, jack, and tools in
their proper locations.
12. Remove blocks from wheels.
Road Tire Installation
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.

the wheel nuts fully until the vehicle has been lowered.
