WARNING!(Continued)
•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/Spare Tire Stowage
The jack, wheel chocks and spare tire are stowed under
the load floor behind the rear seat.
1. Open the liftgate.
2. Lift the access cover using the load floor handle. 3. Remove the hook from the stowed position on the
back side of the load floor and place the hook over the
top body in white flange and weather seal. This will
hold the load floor up while obtaining the jack and
spare tire.

•Do not let anyone sit in the vehicle when it is on a

• 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

• 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.
