11. Position the jack under the vehicle, near the wheel to be changed, taking care not to 
damage the plastic body panel.
12. Lift the extension lever on the wrench.
Jacking Location
 13. Rotate the extension lever clockwise until the 
round pin on the jack engages in the hole in 
the lifting block located about 6 inches 
(15 cm) from the outside edge of the body. 
The lifting points are marked by triangles 
visible on the plastic body panel.
Jacking Point Indicators
14. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack screw  clockwise, 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. 15. Remove the five wheel bolts and take the
wheel off.
16. Make sure the contact surfaces between  compact spare tire and hub are clean so that 
the fastening bolts will not come loose.
17. Fit the compact spare tire by inserting the first wheel bolt for two threads into the hole
closest to the valve.
18. Take the wheel wrench and tighten the wheel bolts.
19. Inflate the compact spare tire by removing  the cap from its inflation valve and screwing
on the compressor inflation hose fitting.

 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.
 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.

20. Make sure that the switch on the compressor is in the O (off) position, open the liftgate and
insert the plug into the power socket in the 
cargo area, or on the center console and start 
the engine. Place the on/off switch in the I 
(on) position.
Attaching Compressor To Tire
21. Inflate the compact spare tire to a pressure of  43.5 psi (3 bar).
NOTE:
If spare tire is overinflated, be sure to lower the 
psi in the tire to the recommended amount by 
using the deflation button on the air compressor.
22. Operate the wheel wrench on the jack to lower the vehicle.
23. Remove the jack. 24. Use the wheel wrench to fully tighten the
bolts, passing alternately from one bolt to the 
diagonally opposite one.
To obtain a more accurate reading, it is advisable 
to check the pressure of the compact spare tire 
on the pressure gauge with the compressor off.
NOTE:
Do not stow the deflated tire in the compact spare 
tire location.
The compressor was designed for inflating the 
compact spare tire. Do not use it for inflating 
mattresses, rafts, etc.
NOTE:
Spare tires are intended for temporary use only.
Have the full-sized tire repaired or replaced, as 
soon as possible.
TIRE SERVICE KIT — 
IF EQUIPPED 
DESCRIPTION
If a tire is punctured, you can make an emergency 
repair using the Tire Service Kit located in the rear 
storage area under the load platform.
1. Stop the vehicle in a position where you can  repair the tire safely. You should be as far as 
possible from the side of the road, and in a
position that is not dangerous for oncoming 
traffic. Turn on the Hazard Warning Flashers, 
remove the safety triangle from the luggage 
compartment, and place it at a suitable
distance from the vehicle to make other
drivers aware of your presence.
2. Verify that the valve stem (on the wheel with the deflated tire) is in a position that is near 
to the ground. This will allow the tire repair kit 
hoses to reach the valve stem and keep the 
tire service kit flat on the ground.
3. Place the gear selector in PARK (P).
4. Apply the electric park brake and turn the  engine OFF.

 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.
 WARNING!
A loose tire or jack thrown forward in a colli -
sion or hard stop could endanger the occu -
pants 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.

Tire Terminology And Definitions
Tire Loading And Tire Pressure 
NOTE:
The proper cold tire inflation pressure is listed on 
the driver’s side B-pillar or the rear edge of the 
driver's side door.
Check the inflation pressure of each tire, 
including the spare tire (if equipped), at least 
monthly and inflate to the recommended 
pressure for your vehicle.Example Tire Placard Location (Door)Example Tire Placard Location (B-pillar)
TermDefinition
B-pillarThe vehicle B-pillar is the structural member of the body located behind the front door.
Cold Tire Inflation Pressure Cold tire inflation pressure is defined as the tire pressure after the vehicle has not been 
driven for at least three hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) after sitting for a 
minimum of three hours. Inflation pressure is measured in units of PSI (pounds per square 
inch) or kPa (kilopascals).
Maximum Inflation Pressure The maximum inflation pressure is the maximum permissible cold tire inflation pressure 
for this tire. The maximum inflation pressure is molded into the sidewall.
Recommended Cold Tire Inflation Pressure Vehicle manufacturer's recommended cold tire inflation pressure as shown on the tire 
placard.
Tire Placard A label permanently attached to the vehicle describing the vehicle’s loading capacity, the 
original equipment tire sizes and the recommended cold tire inflation pressures.
