WARNING!
Modifications to any part of the air bag system could cause it to fail when you need it. You could be injured if the air bag system is not there to protect
you. Do not modify the components or wiring, including adding any kind of badges or stickers to the steering wheel hub trim cover or the upper
passenger side of the instrument panel. Do not modify the front fascia/bumper, vehicle body structure, or add aftermarket side steps or running boards.
It is dangerous to try to repair any part of the air bag system yourself. Be sure to tell anyone who works on your vehicle that it has an air bag system.
Do not attempt to modify any part of your air bag system. The air bag may inflate accidentally or may not function properly if modifications are made.
Take your vehicle to an authorized dealer for any air bag system service. If your seat, including your trim cover and cushion, needs to be serviced in any
way (including removal or loosening/tightening of seat attachment bolts), take the vehicle to an authorized dealer. Only manufacturer approved seat
accessories may be used. If it is necessary to modify the air bag system for persons with disabilities, contact an authorized dealer.

10. Remove the damaged wheel by using the wheel wrench to loosen the bolts by one turn.
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.
WARNING!
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 being hit when
operating the jack or changing the wheel.

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.

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.

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.
