If you have a flat tire (with spare tire)
Jack location
To reduce the possibility of injury,
be sure to only use the jack provided
with the vehicle in the correct jack
position; never use any other part of
the vehicle for jack support.
Changing a tire
䳜 To prevent vehicle movement
while changing a tire, always set
the parking brake fully, and
always block the wheel diagonally,
opposite the wheel being
changed.
䳜 We recommend that the wheels
of the vehicle be blocked, and that
no person remain in a vehicle that
is being jacked.
6. Loosen the wheel lug nuts coun
-
terclockwise one turn each, but do
not remove any nut until the tire
has been raised off the ground.
7. Place the jack at the front (1) or
rear (2) jacking position closest to
the tire you are changing. Place
the jack at the designated loca
-
tions under the frame. The jack
-
ing positions are plates welded to
the frame with two tabs and a
raised dot to line up with the jack.
8. Insert the wheel lug nut wrench
into the jack and turn it clockwise,
raising the vehicle until the tire
just clears the ground. This mea
-
surement is approximately 1 in
(25 mm).
