latched. Failure to do so may allow water
to get into the power distribution center
and possibly result in an electrical sys-
tem failure.
• When replacing a blown fuse, it is impor-
tant to use only a fuse having the correct
amperage rating. The use of a fuse with
CAUTION!
a rating other than indicated may result
in a dangerous electrical system over-
load. If a properly rated fuse continues
to blow, it indicates a problem in the
circuit that must be corrected.
JACKING AND TIRE

Run Flat Tires — SRT Models
This vehicle is equipped with “run flat” tires.
Run flat tires allow the vehicle to be driven
approximately 50 miles (80km) at 55 mph
(88km/h). Tire service should be obtained to
avoid prolonged run flat feature usage.

WARNING!
Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) if the
“Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light” is
illuminated. Vehicle handling and braking
may be reduced. You could have a collision
and be severely or fatally injured.
Jack/Spare Tire Stowage
Jack Location
The scissor-type jack and tire changing tools
are located in rear cargo area, below the load
floor.Spare Tire Stowage
The spare tire is stowed under the load floor
in the rear cargo area and is secured to the

Preparations For Jacking
CAUTION!
Always lift or jack the vehicle from the
correct jacking points. Failure to follow
this information could cause damage to
the vehicle or underbody components.
NOTE:
To assist with changing a spare tire, the air

Jacking Instructions
WARNING!
Carefully follow these tire changing warn-
ings to help prevent personal injury or
damage to your vehicle:
• Always park on a firm, level surface asfar from the edge of the roadway as
possible before raising the vehicle.
• Turn on the Hazard Warning flasher.
• Chock the wheel diagonally opposite the
wheel to be raised.
• Set the parking brake firmly and set an
automatic transmission in PARK.
• 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.
• 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 indi-
cated and for lifting this vehicle during a
tire change.
WARNING!
• If working on or near a roadway, beextremely careful of motor traffic.
• To assure that spare tires, flat or in-
flated, are securely stowed, spares must
be stowed with the valve stem facing the
ground.

Do not attempt to raise the vehicle by
jacking on locations other than those indi-
cated in the Jacking Instructions for this
vehicle.
1. Remove the spare tire, jack, and tools from storage. 2. 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.

jack is fully engaged. 6. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack
screw clockwise. Raise the vehicle only
until the tire just clears the surface and
enough clearance is obtained to install
the spare tire. Minimum tire lift provides
maximum stability.

8. Position the spare wheel/tire on the ve- hicle and install the lug nuts with the
cone-shaped end toward the wheel.
Lightly tighten the 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
