Rear Jacking Location3. Turn the handle on the jack screw 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 until the tire just clears the surface and enough clearance
is obtained to install the spare tire. Minimum tire lift
provides maximum stability.
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!

Being under a jacked-up vehicle is dangerous. 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 indicated in the Jacking
Instructions for this vehicle.
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.

Mounting Spare Tire7. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw to the left.
Refer to “Torque Specifications” in “Technical Specifica -
tions” for proper wheel lug bolt torque.
8. Lower the jack to its fully-closed position.
9. Stow the cable and wheel spacer before driving the vehicle. Refer to “Vehicles With Alloy Wheels” in this
section for instructions on stowing alloy wheels.
10. Stow the jack and tools under the driver’s seat.
11. Check the spare tire pressure as soon as possible. Correct the tire pressure, as required.

12. When you place the spare tire back on the winch or if you carry the tire in need of repair on the winch, always check
that the tire is properly secured under the vehicle by pushing
on the stowed tire under the rear bumper at the back of the
vehicle. If the tire has motion when pushed, use the tools to
re-tighten the winch until a loud click is heard.

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.
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!
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.
