Turn off the running boards
(if equipped) before jacking

or placing any object under the
vehicle. Never place your hand
between the extended running
board and the vehicle. A moving
running board may cause injury.

To lessen the risk of personal injury, do not put any part of your
body under the vehicle while changing a tire. Do not start the

engine when your vehicle is on the jack. The jack is only meant for
changing the tire.

Never use the front or rear differential as a jacking point.
7. Remove the lug nuts with the lug wrench.
8. Replace the flat tire with the spare tire, making sure the valve stem is
facing outward. Reinstall the lug nuts until the wheel is snug against the
hub. Do not fully tighten the lug nuts until the wheel has been lowered.
9. Lower the wheel by turning the jack handle counterclockwise.

10. Remove the jack and fully
tighten the lug nuts in the order
shown and reinstall the wheel cover.
Refer to Wheel lug nut torque
specifications
later in this chapter
for the proper lug nut torque
specification.

11. Unblock the wheels.

12. Put flat tire, jack, lug wrench
and tools away. Make sure the jack
bag is properly reinstalled around the jack and tools assembly tray with
the strap securely fastened. Be sure to tighten the wing nut sufficiently
so it does not rattle when you drive.
13. Turn on the air suspension system (if equipped). Refer to Message
center
in the Driver Controls chapter for instructions on turning the air
suspension system on.
Stowing the spare tire
1. Lay the tire on the ground, near the rear of the vehicle, with the valve
