3. Position the jack lift head at the jack location nearest

the flat tire. The front location is about 7 inches
(17.8 cm) rearward from the front wheel opening.
The rear location is about 2 inches (5.1 cm) forward
of the rear wheel opening.

Make sure the jack head is touching the metal
jacking flange under the body. Do not place the jack
under the plastic body panel.

Notice: Make sure that the jack lift head is in the
correct position or you may damage your vehicle.
The repairs would not be covered by your warranty.

CAUTION:

Getting under a vehicle when it is jacked up 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.

{

CAUTION:

Raising your 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.

4. Put the compact spare tire near you.

5. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack handle

clockwise. Raise the vehicle far enough off the
ground so there is enough room for the compact
spare tire to fit under the vehicle.
