FORD 2014 Explorer v.2 - Manual (Page 388)

WARNING: Do not attempt to change a tire on the side of the
vehicle close to moving traffic. Pull far enough off the road to
avoid the danger of being hit when operating the jack or changing the
wheel.
WARNING: Always use the jack provided as original equipment
with your vehicle. If using a jack other than the one provided as
original equipment with your vehicle, make sure the jack capacity is
adequate for the vehicle weight, including any vehicle cargo or
modifications.
Note: Passengers should not remain in the vehicle when the vehicle is
being jacked.
Note: If the third-row seat is stowed in the floor, you will need to
unstow it (raised position) to access the spare tire and jack. See Rear
Seats in the Seats chapter for this procedure.
1. Park on a level surface, set the parking brake and activate the hazard

2. Place the transmission selector lever in position P and turn the engine
off.
3. Turn the two knobs on the floor
filler counterclockwise, then remove
the floor filler and carpeted floor
panel located in the rear of the
vehicle.
