Storing the Tools
To store the tools:1. Return the tools (wheel wrench, jack handle, and jack handle extensions) to
the tool bag. Use the velcro straps to
secure the tool bag under the load floor
in the cargo area.
2. Position the jack and wheel blocks in the driver side trim panel over the
wheelhouse.
3. Turn the jack knob clockwise until the jack is secured tight in the mounting
bracket. Be sure to position the holes in
the base of the jack onto the pin in the
mounting bracket.

Vehicle Load Limits 0222 for information
regarding proper tire inflation and loading
the vehicle. For instructions on how to
remove, install, or store a spare tire, see Tire
