4. For a rear tire, place the jack in the slot on the rear
tie-down bracket, just forward of the rear tire. Do not
raise the vehicle until you are sure the jack is fully
engaged.
5. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack screw clock-
wise. Raise the vehicle just enough to remove the
flat tire.
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.
6. Remove the lug nuts and wheel.
7. Install the spare wheel/tire on the vehicle and
install the lug nuts with the cone-shaped end toward
the wheel. Lightly tighten the nuts.
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 spare tire with the valve stem
facing outward. The vehicle could be damaged if the
spare tire is mounted incorrectly.
8. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw counter-
clockwise, and remove the jack and wheel blocks.
9. Finish tightening the wheel bolts. Push down on the
wrench while at the end of the handle for increased
leverage. Tighten the wheel bolts in a star pattern
until each wheel bolt 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
page 251.
10. Push out the small center cap using the jack tool
from inside the aluminum road wheel and position
the wheel behind the rear fascia/bumper.
11. Push the end of the winch’s cable, spring and steel
sleeve through the back of the road wheel. Making
sure the valve stem is facing the ground when the
wheel is stowed.
