NOTE:
•The trailer tongue weight must be considered as part of
the combined weight of occupants and cargo, and
should never exceed the weight referenced on the Tire
and Loading Information placard. Refer to “Tire Safety
Information” in “Starting And Operating” for further
information. The addition of passengers and cargo may
require reducing trailer tongue load and Gross Trailer
Weight (GTW). Redistributing cargo (to the trailer) may
be necessary to avoid exceeding Rear Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR) of 3,900 lbs (1 769 kg).
• Vehicles not factory equipped with trailer tow package
are limited to 3,500 lbs (350 lbs tongue weight).
Trailer Hitch Receiver Cover Removal — If
Equipped
Your vehicle may be equipped with a trailer hitch receiver
cover, this must be removed to access the trailer hitch
receiver (if equipped). This cover is located at the bottom
center of the rear fascia. 1. Turn the two locking retainers located at the bottom of
the hitch receiver cover a 1/4 turn counterclockwise and
pull bottom of the hitch receiver cover outward (to-
wards you).
2. Pull the bottom of the cover outward (towards you) then downwards to disengage the tabs located at the top of
the hitch receiver cover to remove.Hitch Receiver Cover Retainers

7. Install the spare wheel/tire on the vehicle and install thelug nuts with the cone-shaped end toward the wheel.
Lightly tighten the nuts.
CAUTION!
Be sure to mount the spare tire with the valve stem
facing outward. The vehicle could be damaged if the
spare tire is mounted incorrectly.
WARNING!
To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the jack, do
not fully tighten the lug nuts until the vehicle has been
lowered. Failure to follow this warning may result in
serious injury.
8. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw counter- clockwise, and remove the jack and wheel blocks.
9. 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. Refer to Torque Specifica-
tions in this section for proper lug nut torque. If in doubt
about the correct tightness, have them checked with a
torque wrench by your authorized dealer or at a service
station.
10. Push out the small center cap using the jack tool from inside the aluminum road wheel and position the
wheel behind the rear bumper with the “beauty side”
facing rearward.

NOTE:The plastic plate will prevent the road wheel from
being scratched when sliding it under the vehicle.
11. Insert the two long tubes on the plastic protective plate in the lug holes of the road wheel. Push the end of the
winch’s cable, spring, steel sleeve and stamped cone
shape wheel plate though the road wheel and protec-
tive plate. 12. Slide the road wheel on the ground using the protec-
tive plate until it is directly under the winch and
between the rear bumper and exhaust system heat
shields. Raise the tire by turning the lug wrench on the
winch extension clockwise until it clicks/ratchets three
times to make sure the cable is tight.

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES 485

NOTE:Double check to ensure the tire is snug against the
underbody of the vehicle. Damage to the winch cable may
result if the vehicle is driven with the tire loose.
WARNING!
Do not use power tools to winch the tire up or down.
Impact-type tools may damage the winch mechanism. 13. Lower the jack to the fully closed position. Return the
tools to the proper positions in the tool bag. Fold the
flap on the tool bag under the tools and roll the tools in
the bag underneath the others. Use the Velcro straps to
secure the tool bag to the jack with the lug wrench on
the forward side of the jack. Expand the jack on the
bracket by turning the thumb screw clockwise until it is
tight to prevent rattles.
14. Reinstall the plastic plug into the floor of the cargo area. Roll up and store the Jack, Tool Kit and Tire
Changing Instructions. Reinstall the cover for the jack
in the rear storage bin.
15. Have the aluminum road wheel and tire repaired as soon as possible and properly secure the spare tire, jack
and tool kit.
WARNING!
A loose tire or jack thrown forward in a collision or
hard stop could endanger the occupants of the vehicle.
Always stow the jack parts and the spare tire in the
places provided.

Road Tire Installation
1. Mount the road tire on the axle.
2. Install the remaining lug nuts with the cone shaped endof the nut toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the lug
nuts.
WARNING!
To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the jack, do
not tighten the lug nuts fully until the vehicle has been
lowered. Failure to follow this warning may result in
personal injury.
3. Lower the vehicle to the ground by turning the jack handle counterclockwise.
4. Refer to Torque Specifications for proper lug nut torque.
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.
CAP-LESS FUEL FILL FUNNEL
The funnel for the Cap-Less Fuel System is located with the
jack and tire changing tools. If your vehicle is out of fuel
and an auxiliary fuel can is needed, insert the funnel into
the filler neck and proceed to fill the vehicle.
For more information on the Cap-Less Fuel System refer to

BULB REPLACEMENT
NOTE:Lens fogging can occur under certain atmospheric
conditions. This will usually clear as atmospheric condi-
tions change to allow the condensation to change back into
a vapor. Turning the lamps on will usually accelerate the
clearing process.
High Intensity Discharge Headlamps (Bi-Xenon) —
If Equipped
The headlamps are a type of high voltage discharge tube.
High voltage can remain in the circuit even with the
headlamp switch off. Because of this, you should not
attempt to service a headlamp bulb yourself. If a head-
lamp bulb fails, take your vehicle to an authorized dealer
for service.
WARNING!
A transient high voltage occurs at the bulb sockets of
High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps when the
headlamp switch is turned ON. It may cause serious
electrical shock or electrocution if not serviced prop-
erly. See your authorized dealer for service. NOTE:
On vehicles equipped with High Intensity Dis-
charge (HID) headlamps, when the headlamps are turned
on, there is a blue hue to the lamps. This diminishes and
becomes more white after approximately 10 seconds, as the
system charges.
Bi-Halogen Headlamps — If Equipped
1. Turn the steering wheel to the left to replace the bulb from the right hand lamp, or to the right to replace the
bulb from the left hand lamp.
2. Turn the access cap located on the wheel liner counter- clockwise to remove from liner.
3. Locate the headlamp bulb access cap through the open- ing in the wheel liner.
4. Firmly grasp the access cap and rotate counterclockwise to remove lamp housing.
5. Firmly grasp the low/high beam bulb and connector assembly and rotate counterclockwise to remove from
housing.
6. Disconnect the electrical connector and then connect the replacement bulb.

7. Install the bulb and connector assembly into the head-lamp housing and rotate clockwise to lock in place.
8. Install the bulb access cap in the headlamp housing and rotate clockwise to lock it in place.
9. Install the access cap in the wheel liner and rotate clockwise to lock it in place.
CAUTION!
Do not touch the new bulb with your fingers. Oil
contamination will severely shorten bulb life. If the
bulb comes in contact with any oily surface, clean the
bulb with rubbing alcohol.
Front Turn Signal
1. Open the hood.
2. Turn the turn signal bulb one–quarter turn counter-clockwise to remove from housing.
3. Disconnect the electrical connector and replace the bulb.
CAUTION!
Do not touch the new bulb with your fingers. Oil
contamination will severely shorten bulb life. If the
bulb comes in contact with any oily surface, clean the
bulb with rubbing alcohol.
