JACKING AND TIRE
CHANGING 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 load floor handle, then lift accesscover to locate jack and tools.
Load Floor Handle
3. Remove the hook from the stowed posi -
tion on the back side of the load floor and
place the hook over the top body flange
and weather seal. This will hold the load
floor up while obtaining the jack and
spare tire.
4. Remove the fastener securing the jack and spare tire. Jack And Spare Tire Fastener
5. Remove the chocks.
6. Remove the scissors jack and wheel bolt wrench from the spare wheel as an
assembly. Turn the jack screw to the left
to loosen the wheel bolt wrench, and
remove the wrench from the jack
assembly.
Jack And Tool Assembly
WARNING!
Do not attempt to change a tire on the
side of the vehicle close to moving
traffic. Pull far enough off the road to
avoid the danger of being hit when oper -
ating the jack or changing the wheel.
Being under a jacked-up vehicle is
dangerous. The vehicle could slip off the
jack and fall on you. You could be
crushed. Never put 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.
Never start or run the engine while the
vehicle is on a jack.
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.

1. Remove the spare tire, jack, wheelchocks, and wheel bolt wrench.
2. If equipped with aluminum wheels where the center cap covers the wheel bolts,
use the wheel bolt wrench to pry the
center cap off carefully before raising the
vehicle. 3. Before raising the vehicle, use the wheel
bolt wrench to loosen, but not remove,
the wheel bolts on the wheel with the flat
tire. Turn the wheel bolts counterclock -
wise one turn while the wheel is still on
the ground.
4. Place the jack underneath the lift area that is closest to the flat tire. Turn the
jack screw clockwise to firmly engage the
jack saddle with the lift area of the sill
flange, centering the jack saddle inside
the cutout in the sill cladding.

Only use the jack in the positions indi -
cated and for lifting this vehicle during a
tire change.
If working on or near a roadway, be
extremely careful of motor traffic.
To assure that spare tires, flat or
inflated, are securely stowed, spares
must be stowed with the valve stem
facing the ground.
CAUTION!
Do not attempt to raise the vehicle by
jacking on locations other than those
indicated in the Jacking Instructions for
this vehicle.

5. Raise the vehicle just enough to remove the flat tire. 6. Remove the wheel bolts and tire.
7. Remove the alignment pin from the jack
assembly and thread the pin into the
wheel hub to assist in mounting the spare
tire.
8. Mount the spare tire. Mounting Spare Tire
NOTE:
For vehicles so equipped, do not
attempt to install a center cap or wheel cover on the compact spare.
Refer to “Tires” in “Servicing And
Maintenance” in the Owner's Manual
for further information about the spare
tire, its use, and operation.
9. Install the wheel bolts with the threaded end of the wheel bolt toward the wheel.
Lightly tighten the wheel bolts.
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.
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.

Tire Service Kit Components
Using The Mode Select Knob And Hoses
Your Tire Service Kit is equipped with the
following symbols to indicate the air or
sealant mode. Selecting Air Mode
Turn the Mode Select Knob to this position
for air pump operation only. Use the Black
Air Pump Hose when selecting this mode.
Selecting Sealant Mode
Turn the Mode Select Knob to this position
to inject the Tire Service Kit Sealant and to
inflate the tire. Use the Sealant Hose (clear
hose) when selecting this mode.
Using The Power Button
Push and release the Power Button once to
turn on the Tire Service Kit. Push and release
the Power Button again to turn Off the Tire
Service Kit.
Using The Deflation Button
Push the Deflation Button to reduce the air
pressure in the tire if it becomes
over-inflated.
Tire Service Kit Usage Precautions
Replace the Tire Service Kit Sealant
Bottle and Sealant Hose prior to the expi -
ration date (printed at the upper right
hand corner on the bottle label) to assure
optimum operation of the system. Refer to
“Sealant Bottle And Hose Replacement”
in this section for further information.
The Sealant Bottle and Sealant Hose are a
one tire application use and need to be
replaced after each use. Always replace
these components immediately at your
original equipment vehicle dealer.
When the Tire Service Kit sealant is in a
liquid form, clean water and a damp cloth
will remove the material from the vehicle
or tire and wheel components. Once the
sealant dries, it can easily be peeled off
and properly discarded.
For optimum performance, make sure the
valve stem on the wheel is free of debris
before connecting the Tire Service Kit.
You can use the Tire Service Kit air pump
to inflate bicycle tires. The kit also comes
with two needles, located in the Accessory
Storage Compartment (on the bottom of
the air pump) for inflating sport balls,

FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE
If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand
or snow, it can often be moved using a
rocking motion. Turn the steering wheel right
and left to clear the area around the front
wheels. For vehicles with automatic trans-
mission, push and hold the lock button on
the gear selector. Then shift back and forth
between DRIVE and REVERSE (with auto -
matic transmission) or SECOND GEAR and
REVERSE (with manual transmission), while
gently pressing the accelerator.
NOTE:
For vehicles with automatic transmission:
Shifts between DRIVE and REVERSE can
only be achieved at wheel speeds of 5 mph
(8 km/h) or less. Whenever the transmission
remains in NEUTRAL for more than two
seconds, you must press the brake pedal to
engage DRIVE or REVERSE.
Use the least amount of accelerator pedal
pressure that will maintain the rocking
motion without spinning the wheels or racing
the engine. NOTE:
Push the “ESC OFF” switch (if necessary), to
place the Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
system in “Partial Off” mode, before rocking
the vehicle. Refer to “Electronic Brake
Control System” in “Safety” for further infor
-
mation. Once the vehicle has been freed,
push the "ESC OFF" switch again to restore
“ESC On” mode.
CAUTION!
Racing the engine or spinning the wheels
may lead to transmission overheating
and failure. Allow the engine to idle with
the transmission in NEUTRAL for at
least one minute after every five
rocking-motion cycles. This will mini -
mize overheating and reduce the risk of
clutch or transmission failure during
prolonged efforts to free a stuck vehicle.
When “rocking” a stuck vehicle by
shifting between DRIVE/SECOND GEAR
and REVERSE, do not spin the wheels
faster than 15 mph (24 km/h), or drive -
train damage may result.
Revving the engine or spinning the
wheels too fast may lead to transmission
overheating and failure. It can also
damage the tires. Do not spin the wheels
above 30 mph (48 km/h) while in gear
(no transmission shifting occurring).
WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be dangerous.
Forces generated by excessive wheel
speeds may cause damage, or even failure,
of the axle and tires. A tire could explode
and injure someone. Do not spin your
vehicle's wheels faster than 30 mph
(48 km/h) or for longer than 30 seconds
continuously without stopping when you
are stuck and do not let anyone near a
spinning wheel, no matter what the speed.
