3. Use the wheel wrench and turn it

nuts. Do not remove the wheel nuts yet.

vehicle, position the jack under the rear
jacking pad, in front of the rear tire, as

Warning
Getting under a vehicle when it is lifted
on a jack is dangerous. If the vehicle slips
off the jack, you could be badly injured
or killed. Never get under a vehicle when
it is supported only by a jack.
6. Ensure that the jack lift head is centered
on the front or rear jacking pad.
If equipped with a pin on the jack lift
head, the pin must fit into the center of
the hole in the jacking pad.

Warning
Raising the vehicle with the jack
improperly positioned can damage the
vehicle and even make the vehicle fall. To
help avoid personal injury and vehicle
damage, be sure to fit the jack lift head
into the proper location before raising
the vehicle.
7. Insert the hook end of the jack handle
into the hole on the end of the jack.
Assemble the wheel wrench to the jack
handle. Turn the wheel wrench clockwise
to raise the vehicle. Raise the vehicle far
enough off the ground so there is
enough room for the spare tire to fit
under the wheel well.
