Setting Up the Jack
1. Place the jack under the jacking point closest to the tire
to be changed.
2. Turn the end bracket clockwise (as shown in the image)
until the top of the jack contacts the jacking point.
Make sure that the jacking point tab is resting in the jack
notch.
3. Raise the vehicle, using the jack handle bar and the jack
handle, until the tire is off the ground.
The following instructions must be followed to use the jack safely:
• Do not use the jack with people or luggage in the vehicle.
• Use the jack provided in your vehicle. Other jacks may not support the weight (“load”)
or fit the jacking point.
• Do not use while the engine is running.
• Use only where the ground is firm and level.
• Use only at the jacking points.
• Do not get in the vehicle while using the jack.
• Do not put anything on top of or underneath the jack.
The vehicle can easily roll off the jack, seriously injuring anyone underneath.
Follow the directions for changing a tire exactly, and never get under the
vehicle when it is supported only by the jack.

replacing the Flat Tire
1. Remove the wheel nuts and flat tire.
2. Mount the compact spare tire. Replace the wheel nuts,
and lightly tighten them.
3. Lower the vehicle and remove the jack. Tighten the
wheel nuts in the order indicated in the image. Go around,
tightening the nuts, two to three times in this order. Do
not over tighten the wheel nuts.
If you drive with the spare tire installed, the low tire
pressure/TPMS indicator appears. The indicator stays on
until a regular tire is installed.
Storing the Flat Tire
1. Remove the center cap and place the flat tire face up
under the hoist.
2. Insert the hoist bracket into the center hole of the flat tire.
3. Turn the wheel nut wrench with the jack handle bar
clockwise until the flat tire rests against the underbody of
the vehicle and you hear the hoist click.
4. Securely store the jack and wheel nut wrench back in the
tool case. Store the case in the cargo area.
Loose items can fly around the interior in a crash and can seriously injure the
occupants.
Store the wheel, jack, and tools securely before driving.
