CAUTION!
Do not attempt to raise the vehicle by jacking on loca-
tions other than those indicated.
3. Place the wrench on the jack screw and turn clock-
wise 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 clock-
wise, 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 dam-
aged 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 tighten-
ing the nuts with the wrench. After inflation, once
the vehicle is lowered you will have a second oppor-
tunity to “torque” the lug nuts
page 223.
8. Inflate the tire to the prescribed pressure 60 psi
(4.2 Bar) using the Portable Air Compressor
page 171 or Tire Service Kit if equipped
page 172.
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
page 223. If in doubt about the correct tight-
ness, 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.
