INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING LIGHTS
-TirePressureMonitoringSystem(TPMS)Light
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly, when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size
than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should
determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) which display in the Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) or Driver Information Display (DID) when one or more of your tires is significantly
under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure EVIC or DID display illuminates,
you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper
pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can
lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
IF THE LIGHT STARTS FLASHING INDICATING A LOW TIRE PRESSURE, ADJUST THE AIR
PRESSURE IN THE LOW TIRE TO THE AIR PRESSURE SHOWN ON THE VEHICLE PLACARD OR
TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE LABEL LOCATED ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR.
NOTE:
After inflation, the vehicle may need to be driven for 20 minutes before the flashing light
will turn off.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the
driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low EVIC or DID display.
Yo u r v e h i c l e h a s a l s o b e e n e q u i p p e d w i t h a T P M S m a l f u n c t i o n i n d i c a t o r t o i n d i c a t e w h e n
the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with
the low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash
for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence
will continue each time the vehicle is restarted as long as the malfunction exists.

JACKING AND TIRE CHANGING
Jack Location
The scissor-type jack and tire changing tools are located in rear cargo area, below the load
floor.
•Rotatetheplasticthumbscrewonthe
end of the jack to remove the jack from
the bracket.
Spare Tire Stowage
The spare tire is stowed under the rear of
the vehicle by means of a cable winch
mechanism. To remove or stow the spare,
use the jack handle/lug wrench connected
to the square socket extension to rotate the
“spare tire drive” nut. The nut is located
under a plastic cover at the center-rear of
the cargo floor area, just inside the liftgate
opening.

Spare Tire Removal
1. Remove the jack tools from the bag.
2. Raise the protective rubber mat covering the storage compartment floor and remove
the plug to access the winch drive.
3. Fit the jack handle extension over the drive nut. Use the lug wrench handle and
extension to completely lower the spare tire. Keep turning the handle until the winch
STOPS.
NOTE:
Do not use power tools to operate the winch.

3. For the front axle, place the jack on the body flange just behind the front tire as
indicated by the triangular lift point symbol on the sill molding.Do not raise the vehicle
until you are sure the jack is fully engaged.
4. For a rear tire, place the jack in the slot
on the rear tie-down bracket, just for-
ward of the rear tire (as indicated by the
triangular lift point symbol on the sill
molding).Do not raise the vehicle until
you are sure the jack is fully engaged.
5. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack
screw clockwise. Raise the vehicle just
enough to remove the flat tire.
6. Remove the lug nuts and wheel.
7. Install the temporary spare wheel/tire
and lightly tighten the lug nuts prior to
lowering to prevent the vehicle from
moving on the jack.
8. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack
screw counterclockwise, and remove the
jack.
9. Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push
down on the wrench while at the end
of the handle for increased leverage.
Ti g h t e n t h e l u g n u t s i n a s t a r p a t t e r n
until each nut has been tightened twice.
The correct wheel nut tightness is
130 ft lbs (176 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.

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.
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 130 ft/lbs (176 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.

TIRE PRESSURES
Check the inflation pressure of each tire, including the spare tire (if equipped), at least
monthly and inflate to the recommended pressure for your vehicle.
The tire pressures recommended for your vehicle are found on the “Tire and Loading
Information” label located on the driver’s side door opening.
NOTE:
