• Never use the front or rear differential as a jacking point.
6. Remove the lug nuts with the lug wrench.
7. 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.
8. Lower the wheel by turning the jack handle counterclockwise.
9. Remove the jack and fully tighten
the lug nuts in the order shown and
reinstall the wheel cover.
10. Unblock the wheels.
11. Put flat tire, jack, lug wrench
and tools away. Make sure the jack
is fastened securely so it does not
rattle when you drive.
12. 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.
2. Slide the wheel partially under
the vehicle and install the retainer
through the wheel center. After
doing so, pull on the cable to align
the components at the end of the
cable.
3. Assemble the jack handle and
winch extension (as shown in
illustration), then insert the winch
extension through the access hole
behind the 3rd row seat and engage
the winch.
4. Turn the jack handle clockwise
until the tire is raised to its stowed
position underneath the vehicle. The
wrench will become harder to turn and the spare tire winch will ratchet
or slip when the tire is raised to maximum tightness. A clicking sound
will be heard from the winch indicating that the tire is properly stowed.
