Placard Location
NOTE: The proper cold tire infla-
tion pressure is listed on the driv-
er’s side B-Pillar or the rear edge
of the driver's side door.Tire And Loading Information
Placard
This placard tells you important
information about the:
1) number of people that can be
carried in the vehicle
2) total weight your vehicle can
carry
3) tire size designed for your ve-
hicle
4) cold tire inflation pressures for
the front, rear, and spare tires.
Loading
The vehicle maximum load on the tire
must not exceed the load carrying ca-
pacity of the tire on your vehicle. You
will not exceed the tire's load carrying
capacity if you adhere to the loading
conditions, tire size, and cold tire in-
flation pressures specified on the Tire
and Loading Information placard and
in the “Vehicle Loading” section of
this manual. NOTE: Under a maximum loaded
vehicle condition, gross axle
weight ratings (GAWRs) for the
front and rear axles must not be
exceeded. For further information
on GAWRs, vehicle loading, and
trailer towing, refer to “Vehicle
Loading” in this section.
To determine the maximum loading
conditions of your vehicle, locate the
statement “The combined weight of
occupants and cargo should never ex-
ceed XXX lbs or XXX kg” on the Tire
and Loading Information placard.
The combined weight of occupants,
cargo/luggage and trailer tongue
weight (if applicable) should never
exceed the weight referenced here.

SYSTEM” message will not be pres-
ent, and a pressure value will be dis-
played instead of dashes. A system
fault can occur by any of the following
scenarios:
1. Jamming due to electronic devices
or driving next to facilities emitting
the same radio frequencies as the
TPMS sensors.
2. Installing some form of aftermar-
ket window tinting that affects radio
wave signals.
3. Accumulation of excessive snow
and/or ice around the wheels or wheel
housings.
4. Using tire chains on the vehicle.
5. Using wheels/tires not equipped
with TPMS sensors.
The EVIC will also display a “SER-
VICE TPM SYSTEM” message for a
minimum of five seconds when a sys-
tem fault possibly related to an incor-
rect sensor location fault is present. In
this case, the “SERVICE TPM SYS-
TEM” message is then followed by a
graphic display with pressure valuesstill shown. This indicates that the
pressure values are still being received
from the TPM sensors but they may
not be in the correct vehicle position.
The system still needs to be serviced
as long as the “SERVICE TPM SYS-
TEM” message exists.
Vehicles With Compact Spare
1. The compact spare tire (for
versions/markets, where provided)
does not have a TPMS. Therefore, the
TPMS will not monitor the pressure in
the compact spare tire.
2. If you install the compact spare
tire in place of a road tire that has a
pressure below the low-pressure
warning limit, upon the next ignition
switch cycle, the “Tire Pressure Moni-
toring Telltale Light” will remain on,
the “Inflate Tire to XX” message and
the "TIRE LOW PRESSURE" mes-
sage will be displayed, a chime will
sound, and the EVIC will still display
a flashing pressure value in the
graphic display.
3. After driving the vehicle for up to
20 minutes above 24 km/h, the “Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light”
will flash on and off for 75 seconds
and then remain on solid. In addition,
the EVIC will display a “SERVICE
TPM SYSTEM” message for a mini-
mum of five seconds and then display
dashes (- -) in place of the pressure
value.
4. For each subsequent ignition
switch cycle, a chime will sound, the
“Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale
Light” will flash on and off for 75
seconds and then remain on solid, and
the EVIC will display a “SERVICE
TPM SYSTEM” message for a mini-
mum of five seconds and then display
dashes (- -) in place of the pressure
value.

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.
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.
TO ACCESS SPARE TIRE
WINCH DRIVE NUT
To access the spare tire winch drive
nut and lower the spare tire, you will
need to refer to one of the following
center console configurations.

PREPARATIONS FOR
JACKING
1. Park the vehicle on a firm, level
surface. Avoid ice or slippery areas.WARNING!
Do not attempt to change a tire on
the side of the vehicle close to mov-
ing traffic, pull far enough off the
road to avoid being hit when oper-
ating the jack or changing the
wheel.
2. Turn on the Hazard Warning
flasher.
3. Set the parking brake.
4. Place the shift lever into PARK.
5. Turn OFF the ignition. 6. Block both the
front and rear of
the wheel diago-
nally opposite the
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 ve-
hicle is being jacked.
JACKING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
Carefully follow these tire changing
warnings to help prevent personal
injury or damage to your vehicle:
Always park on a firm, level sur-
face as far from the edge of the
roadway as possible before rais-
ing the vehicle.
Turn on the Hazard Warning
flasher.
Block the wheel diagonally oppo- site the wheel to be raised.
Set the parking brake firmly and
set an automatic transmission in
PARK; a manual transmission in
REVERSE.
Never start or run the engine with
the vehicle on a jack.
Do not let anyone sit in the vehicle when it is on a jack.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
Do not get under the vehicle when it 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.
Only use the jack in the positions indicated and for lifting this ve-
hicle 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.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 Information” for informa-
tion 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 vehicle. Return the jack to its
correct orientation once it is under
the vehicle.
WARNING!
Being 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.
3. Place the wrench on the jack screw
and turn to the right until the jack
head is properly engaged in the de-
scribed location. Do not raise the
vehicle until you are sure the jack
is securely engaged.
