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.
• The stowed spare tire should always be
checked for security by pushing on it
with your hand , at the location under
the rear bumper, behind the vehicle. The
spare tire should not move when fully
secured by the winch under the vehicle.
CAUTION!
Do not attempt to raise the vehicle by
jacking on locations other than those indi-
cated in the Jacking Instructions for this
vehicle.
1. Loosen (but do not remove) the wheel lug bolts with the wrench handle by turning
them to the left one turn while the wheel
is still on the ground. 2. There are two jack engagement locations
on each side of the vehicle body.
NOTE:
Place the jack underneath the jack engage-
ment location that is closest to the flat tire.
WARNING!
Being under a jacked-up vehicle is danger-
ous. The vehicle could slip off the jack and
fall on you. You could be crushed. Never
get any part of your body under a vehicle
that 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.
CAUTION!
Do not attempt to raise the vehicle by
jacking on locations other than those indi-
cated in the Jacking Instructions for this
vehicle.

3. Turn the handle on the jack screw to theright until the jack head is properly en-
gaged 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 jackscrew to the right until the tire just clears
the surface and enough clearance is ob-
tained to install the 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.
WARNING!
Raise the vehicle only enough to remove
the tire.
5. Remove the wheel lug bolts. 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 spare tire. Lightly tighten the wheel lug bolts using the bolt install
wrench.
WARNING!
To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off
the jack, do not fully tighten the wheel
bolts until the vehicle has been lowered.
Failure to follow this warning may result in
serious injury.
