WARNING: If the vehicle slips off the jack, you or someone else
could be seriously injured.

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: Turn off the running boards (if equipped) before
working under the vehicle, jacking, or placing any object under

the vehicle. Never place your hand in the hinge assemblies. A moving
running board may cause injury.

Note: Passengers should not remain in the vehicle when the vehicle is
being jacked.

1. Block the wheel that is diagonally
opposite of the flat tire using the
wheel chock provided with your
vehicle.

2. Use the tip of the lug wrench to
remove the beauty cap by twisting
the tip under the cap. On
5–passenger vehicles, the carpeted
floor lid can be used as a kneeling
pad.

3. Loosen each wheel lug nut by half
a turn, but do not remove them
until the wheel is raised off the
ground.
