JACKING AND TIRE
CHANGINGWARNING!
 Do not attempt to change a tire onthe 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.
 Being under a jacked-up vehicle is
dangerous. The vehicle could slip
off the jack and fall on you. You
could be crushed. Never put 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.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
 Never start or run the engine
while the vehicle is on a jack.
 The jack is designed to be used 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.
JACK LOCATION
The jack, jack handle and winch
handle tools are stowed behind the
rear left side trim panel in the rear
cargo area. Turn the two cover latches
to release the cover. Remove the pouch containing the
scissors jack, jack handle, and tools.
SPARE TIRE REMOVAL
The spare tire is stowed inside a pro-
tective cover located under the center
of the vehicle between the front doors
by means of a cable winch mecha-
nism. The “spare tire drive” nut is
located on the floor, under a plastic
cap at the front of the floor console or
under front super console forward bin
liner.

WARNING!(Continued)
 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.CAUTION!
Do not attempt to raise the vehicle
by jacking on locations other than
those indicated in the Jacking In-
structions for this vehicle.
NOTE:
Refer to the “Compact Spare Tire”
section of “Tires – General Infor-
mation” 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 lo-
cations on each side of the vehicle
body. These locations are on the sill
flange of the vehicle body.
CAUTION!
Do not attempt to raise the vehicle
by jacking on locations other than
those indicated.
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
150 mm from door edge.
NOTE:
In some situations the jack may
need to be placed on its side in
order to be pushed under the ve-
hicle. Return the jack to its correct
orientation once it is under the ve-
hicle.

8. Finish tightening the lug nuts.
Push down on the wrench while at the
end of the handle for increased lever-
age. Tighten the lug nuts in a star
pattern until each nut has been tight-
ened twice. The correct wheel nut
tightness is 138 N·m. If in doubt
about the correct tightness, have them
checked with a torque wrench by your
authorized dealer or at a service sta-
tion.
9. Lower the jack to its fully-closed
position.WARNING!
A loose tire or jack thrown forward
in a collision or hard stop could en-
danger 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.
10. 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 loca-
tion. Have the full-sized tire repaired
or replaced, as soon as possible. 11. Stow the cable and wheel spacer
before driving the vehicle. Reas-
semble the winch handle extensions to
form a “T” and fit the winch T-handle
over the drive nut. Rotate the nut to
the right until the winch mechanism
clicks at least three times.
NOTE:
Refer to the “Spare Tire Tools”
section for instructions on assem-
bling the T-handle.
12. Stow the jack, jack handle and
winch handle tools back in the stow-
age compartment.
13. Check the compact spare tire
pressure as soon as possible. Correct
the tire pressure, as required.
SECURING THE SPARE
TIRE
1. Assemble the winch handle exten-
sions to form a T-handle and fit the
winch T-handle over the drive nut.
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
wheel spacer out from under the ve-
hicle.
WARNING!
A loose compact spare tire/cover as-
sembly, thrown forward in a colli-
sion or hard stop could endanger the
occupants of the vehicle. Always
stow the compact spare tire with the
cover assembly in the place pro-
vided.CAUTION!
The winch mechanism is designed
for use with the winch T-handle
only. Use of an air wrench or other
power tools is not recommended and
can damage the winch.
2. Assemble the winch handle exten-
sions to form the spare tire hook, and
pull the wheel spacer from under the
vehicle.
3. Turn the compact spare tire so that
the valve stem is down, and place the
tire into the spare tire/cover assembly.
Slide the wheel spacer through the
center of the wheel and spare tire/
cover assembly, so that the two re-
tainer tabs snap out and engage the
spare tire cover on the opposite side.
275

CAUTION!
The compact spare tire/cover as-
sembly must be used when the com-
pact spare tire is stored. Failure to
use this cover could drastically re-
duce the life of the compact spare
tire.WARNING!
Verify that both retainer tabs of the
wheel spacer have been properly ex-
tended through the center of the
wheel and spare tire/cover assembly.
Failure to properly engage both re-
tainer tabs could result in loss of the
spare tire and cover assembly, which
will cause vehicle damage and may
cause loss of vehicle control.
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 under-
side of the vehicle.
5. Continue to rotate the nut to the
right until you hear the winch mecha-
nism click three times. It cannot be
overtightened. Check under the ve-
hicle to ensure the compact spare tire/ cover assembly is positioned correctly
against the underside of the vehicle.
CAUTION!
The winch mechanism is designed
specifically to stow a compact spare
tire only. Do not attempt to use the
winch to stow the full size flat tire, or
any other full-size tire. Vehicle dam-
age may result.
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 exces-
sive 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.

tery it can be jump-started using a set
of jumper cables and a battery in an-
other vehicle or by using a portable
battery booster pack. Jump-starting
can be dangerous if done improperly
so please follow the procedures in this
section carefully.
NOTE:
When using a portable battery
booster pack follow the manufac-
turer’s operating instructions and
precautions.
CAUTION!
Do not use a portable battery
booster pack or any other booster
source with a system voltage greater
than 12 Volts or damage to the bat-
tery, starter motor, alternator or
electrical system may occur.

TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE
Towing ConditionWheels OFF the Ground ALL MODELS
Flat Tow NONEIf transmission is operable:
 Transmission inNEUTRAL
 40 km/hmax speed
 24 km maxdistance
Wheel lift Rear
Front OK
Flatbed ALLBEST METHOD
Proper towing or lifting equipment is
required to prevent damage to your
vehicle. Use only tow bars and other
equipment designed for the purpose,
following equipment manufacturer’s
instructions. Use of safety chains is
mandatory. Attach a tow bar or other
towing device to main structural
members of the vehicle, not to bum-
pers or associated brackets. State and
local laws applying to vehicles under
tow must be observed.
If you must use the accessories (wip-
ers, defrosters, etc.) while being
towed, the ignition must be in the
ON/RUN position, not the ACC posi-
tion.
CAUTION!
 Do not use sling type equipment when towing. Damage to the fas-
cia will occur.
 When securing the vehicle to a
flatbed truck, do not attach to
front or rear suspension compo-
nents. Damage to your vehicle
may result from improper towing.
 Do not push or tow this vehicle
with another vehicle as damage to
the bumper fascia and transmis-
sion may result.
 If the vehicle being towed requires
steering, the ignition switch must
be in the ON/RUN position, not
the LOCK/OFF or ACC positions. The manufacturer recommends tow-
ing your vehicle with all four wheels
OFF the ground using a flatbed. If
flatbed equipment is not available,
and the transmission is operable, the
vehicle may be flat towed (with all
four wheels on the ground) under the
following conditions:
 The shift lever must be in NEU-
TRAL.
 The distance to be traveled must not exceed 24 km.
 The towing speed must not exceed 40 km/h.
281

If the transmission is not operable,
or the vehicle must be towed faster
than 40 km/h or farther than
24 km, it must be towed with the
front wheels OFF the ground (us-
ing a flatbed truck, or wheel lift
equipment with the front wheels
raised).CAUTION!
Towing faster than 40 km/h or far-
ther than 24 km with front wheels
on the ground can cause severe dam-
age to the transmission. Such dam-
age is not covered by the New Ve-
hicle Limited Warranty.WITHOUT THE IGNITION
KEY
Special care must be taken when the
vehicle is towed with the ignition in
the LOCK/OFF position. Flatbed
towing is the preferred towing
method. However, if a flatbed towing
vehicle is not available, wheel lift tow-
ing equipment may be used. Rear
towing (with the front wheels on the
ground) is not allowed, as transmis-
sion damage will occur. If rear towing
is the only alternative, the front
wheels must be placed on a towing
dolly. Proper towing equipment is
necessary to prevent damage to the
vehicle.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these towing meth-
ods can cause severe transmission
damage. Such damage is not covered
by the New Vehicle Limited War-
ranty.
