bin.
Spare Tire Stowage

To remove the spare tire from the car-
rier, remove the tire cover, if equipped,
and remove the lug nuts with the lug
wrench turning them counterclockwise.

If you have added aftermarket accesso-
ries to the spare tire mounted carrier, it
cannot exceed a gross weight of 85 lbs

Preparations For Jacking
1. Park on a firm, level surface. Avoid ice or slippery areas.
2. Turn on the Hazard Warning flasher.
3. Set the parking brake.
4. Shift the automatic transmission into PARK, or a manual transmission into
REVERSE.
5. Turn the ignition to LOCK.
Block both the front and rear of the wheel
diagonally opposite of the jacking posi-
tion. For example, if changing the right
front tire, block the left rear wheel.
NOTE:
Passengers should not remain in the ve-
hicle when the vehicle is being jacked.
