JACKING AND TIRE CHANGING
Jack Location
• The jack and lug wrench are located in the rear storage compartment.
NOTE:
Turn the black plastic wing nut counter clockwise to loosen the jack from the storage bin.
Spare Tire Stowage
•To remove the spare tire from the car-
rier, remove the tire cover, if equipped,
and remove the lug nuts with the lug
wrench turning them counterclockwise.
NOTE:
If you have added aftermarket accesso-
ries to the spare tire mounted carrier, it
cannot exceed a gross weight of 69 lbs
(31.3 kg) including the weight of the
spare tire.
Preparations For Jacking
1. Park on a firm, level surface. Avoid ice
or slippery areas.
2. Turn on the Hazard Warning flasher.
3. Set the parking brake.
4. Shift the automatic transmission into PARK, or a manual transmission into REVERSE.
5. Turn the ignition to LOCK.
Block both the front and rear of the wheel
diagonally opposite of the jacking posi-
tion. 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
1. Remove the spare tire, jack and toolsfrom the stored location.
2. 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.
3. Assemble the jack and jacking tools. Connect the jack handle driver to the
extension, then to the lug wrench.
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 ser-
vice 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 thewheel. 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. Tighten the lug nuts in a star pattern until each nut
has been tightened twice. The correct tightness of each lug nut 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 service station.
5. 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.
CAUTION!
Do not attempt to raise the vehicle by jacking on locations other than those
indicated in the Jacking Instructions for this vehicle.

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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Carefully follow these tire changing warnings to help prevent personal injury or
damage to your vehicle:
• Always park on a firm, level surface as far from the edge of the roadwayas possible before raising the vehicle.
• Turn on the Hazard Warning flasher.
• Block the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to be raised.
• Set the parking brake firmly and set an automatic transmission in PARK;
a manual transmission in REVERSE.
• Do not let anyone sit in the vehicle when it is on a jack.
• Do not get under the vehicle when it is on a jack.
• Only use the jack in the positions indicated and for lifting this vehicle
during a tire change.
• 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.
• Raising the vehicle higher than necessary can make the vehicle less
stable and cause a collision. 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
wheel nuts fully until the vehicle has been lowered.
• 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.
• 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.

JUMP-STARTING
• If your vehicle has a discharged bat-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.

procedures in this section carefully.
NOTE:
When using a portable battery booster
pack follow the manufacturer’s operating
instructions and precautions.
Preparations for Jump-Start
• The battery in your vehicle is located in the right rear of the engine compartment.
• Set the parking brake, shift the automatic transmission into PARK and turn the ignition 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 positive (+)post of the
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 a good engine ground
(exposed metal part of the discharged vehicle’s engine) away from the battery and
the fuel injection system.
• 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.
