CAUTION!
Do not attempt to raise the vehicle by jacking on
locations other than those indicated.
3. Place the wrench on the jack screw and turn to the right until the jack head is properly engaged in the described
location. Do not raise the vehicle until you are sure the
jack is securely engaged.
4. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack screw to the right, using the swivel wrench. Raise the vehicle only until the
tire just clears the surface and enough clearance is obtained to install the compact spare tire. Minimum tire
lift provides maximum stability.
WARNING!
Raising the vehicle higher than necessary can make the
vehicle less stable. It could slip off the jack and hurt
someone near it. Raise the vehicle only enough to
remove the tire.
5. Remove the wheel lug nuts, for vehicles with wheel covers, remove the cover from the wheel by hand. Do
not pry the wheel cover off. Then pull the wheel off the
hub.
6. Install the inflatable spare on the vehicle, located in the rear cargo area of the vehicle.
WARNING!
To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the jack, do
not tighten the wheel nuts fully until the vehicle has
been lowered. Failure to follow this warning may
result in serious injury.

CAUTION!
Be sure to mount the inflatable spare tire with the
valve stem facing outward. The vehicle could be dam-
aged if the inflatable spare tire is mounted incorrectly.
NOTE: Do not install the wheel cover on the inflatable
spare tire. 7. Leave the vehicle on the jack and start inflating the
inflatable spare after the tire has been mounted to the
vehicle. Secure the wheel to the hub by tightening the
nuts with wrench. After inflation, once the vehicle is
lowered you will have a second opportunity to “torque”
the lug nuts.
8. Inflate the tire to the prescribed pressure 60 psi (4.2 Bar) using the Portable Air Compressor or Tire Service Kit if
equipped. Refer to “Portable Air Compressor” in this
section for usage procedure if equipped. Refer to “Tire
Service Kit For Inflating Tire” in this section for usage
procedure if equipped.

leverage. Tighten the lug nuts in a star pattern until
each nut has been tightened twice. Refer to “Torque
Specifications” in “Technical Specifications” for proper
wheel 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.
11. Lower the jack to its fully-closed position.
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. Have the deflated (flat) tire repaired
or replaced immediately.
