JACKING AND TIRE CHANGING

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 operating 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.
• 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.

PREPARATIONS FOR JACKING 

1. Park the vehicle on a firm, level surface. Avoid ice or slippery areas.
   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.
2. Turn on the Hazard Warning Flashers.
3. Apply the parking brake.
4. Place the gear selector into PARK (P).
5. Place the ignition in OFF mode.
6. Block both the front and rear of the wheel diagonally opposite the jacking position. For example, if the driver’s front wheel is being changed, block the passenger’s rear wheel.
   NOTE: Passengers should not remain in the vehicle when the vehicle is being lifted or raised.

JACK AND SPARE TIRE LOCATION
The jacking tools, spare tire, and portable air compressor (if equipped) or tire service kit (if equipped) are stowed behind an access panel on the left-hand side of the vehicle.

EQUIPMENT REMOVAL 

1. Remove the access panel to the jacking equipment.
2. Unlatch the Portable Air Compressor or Tire Service Kit if equipped. Unscrew the wing nut that is holding the Inflatable Spare Tire and gently remove it from the storage area. Remove the wrench from the foam tray.
   NOTE: Depending on the trim level of the vehicle, the options for spare tire equipment may vary.
3. Turn the jack screw counterclockwise to remove the jack from the storage area behind the tire.

JACKING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Carefully follow these tire-changing warnings to help prevent personal injury or damage to your vehicle:

• Always park on a firm, level surface as far from the edge of the roadway as possible before raising the vehicle.
• Turn on the Hazard Warning Flashers.
• Apply the parking brake firmly and set the transmission in PARK.
• Block the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to be raised.
• Do not let any passenger sit in the vehicle when it is on a jack.
• Do not get under the vehicle when it 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.
• Only use the jack in the positions indicated and for lifting this vehicle during a tire change.
• If working on or near a roadway, be extremely careful of motor traffic.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to raise the vehicle by jacking on locations other than those indicated in the Jacking Instructions for this vehicle.

Extending The Wrench

1. Loosen (but do not remove) the wheel lug nuts by turning them to the left, one turn while the wheel is still on the ground.
2. There are two jack engagement locations on each side of the vehicle body. These locations are on the sill flange of the vehicle body.
   NOTE: Placement for the front and rear jacking locations is critical. See the following images for proper jacking locations.
   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.
3. Place the wrench on the jack screw and turn clockwise 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 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.
   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.
5. Remove the wheel lug nuts. 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 inflatable spare on the vehicle, located in the rear cargo area of the vehicle.
   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.
   CAUTION: Be sure to mount the inflatable spare tire with the valve stem facing outward. The vehicle could be damaged if the inflatable spare tire is mounted incorrectly.
   NOTE: Do not install the wheel cover on the inflatable spare tire.
7. Leave the vehicle on the jack and start inflating the inflatable spare after the tire has been mounted to the vehicle. Secure the wheel to the hub by tightening the nuts with the wrench. After inflation, once the vehicle is lowered you will have a second opportunity to torque the lug nuts.
8. Inflate the tire to the prescribed pressure of 60 psi (4.2 Bar) using the Portable Air Compressor or Tire Service Kit if equipped.
9. Lower the vehicle once the inflatable Spare has reached its pressure and the compressor hose has been removed from the tire valve.
10. Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on the wrench while at the end of the handle for increased leverage. Tighten the lug nuts in a star pattern until each nut has been tightened twice. If in doubt about the correct tightness, have them checked with a torque wrench by an authorized dealer or at a service station.
11. Lower the jack to its fully closed position.
    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.
12. Place the deflated (flat) tire and foam tray cover assembly in the rear cargo area. Do not stow the deflated tire in the inflatable spare tire location. Have the full-sized tire repaired or replaced, as soon as possible.
13. Stow the jack back in the stowage compartment and place the access panel back. The studs of the storage area must be threaded through the lower part of the jack. Then turn the Jack Screw clockwise to secure it in place.
    NOTE: Stow the foam tray and components in the cargo area.

ROAD TIRE INSTALLATION
Vehicles Equipped With Wheel Covers

1. Mount the road tire on the axle.
2. To ease the installation process for steel wheels with wheel covers, install two lug nuts on the mounting studs which are on each side of the valve stem. Install the lug nuts with the cone-shaped end of the nut toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the lug nuts.
3. Align the valve notch in the wheel cover with the valve stem on the wheel. Install the cover by hand, snapping the cover over the two lug nuts. Do not use a hammer or excessive force to install the cover.
4. Install the remaining lug nuts with the cone-shaped end of the nut toward the wheel. Lightly tighten all the lug nuts until the wheel sits flush with the hub and there is no play. The nuts will have to be fully tightened once the vehicle is lowered. Tightening an improperly seated wheel under vehicle load can damage the threads, cause vibration, and undermine safety.
   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.
5. Lower the vehicle to the ground by turning the jack handle counterclockwise.
6. Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on the wrench while at the end of the handle for increased leverage. Tighten the lug nuts in a star pattern until each nut has been tightened twice. If in doubt about the correct tightness, have them checked with a torque wrench by an authorized dealer or at a service station.
7. After 25 miles (40 km) check the lug nut torque with a torque wrench to ensure that all lug nuts are properly seated against the wheel.
