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
is fastened securely so it does not rattle when you drive.

13. Turn on the air suspension switch (if equipped).

Stowing the spare tire

1. Lay the tire on the ground, near the rear of the vehicle, with the valve
stem side facing up.
