Dodge 2012 Journey - User Guide - Manual (Page 76)

• Block both the front and rear of the
wheel diagonally opposite of the
jacking position. For example, if
changing the right front tire, block the
left rear wheel.
NOTE: Passengers should not remain in the
vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked.
Spare Tire Removal
NOTE: On seven-passenger models, fold the third-row passenger seats flat. This will
provide more space when accessing the jacking tools and when operating the winch
mechanism.
1. Remove the jack-handle components 1, 2 and 3 from storage and assemble them.
NOTE: Assemble components 2 and 3 by
seating the small ball at the end of
component 2 in the small hole at the end
of component 3. This will lock these
components together. Assemble
components 1 and 2 so that the wheel
nut socket at the end of component 1
faces upward when seated on
component 2. This will make it easier to
rotate the assembly when operating the
winch mechanism.
2. Fit the assembled jack-handle over the winch drive nut located in the jack storage
area. Rotate the jack-handle assembly counterclockwise until the spare tire is on
the ground with enough cable slack to allow you to pull the spare tire out from
underneath the vehicle.
3. Pull the spare tire out from underneath the vehicle and raise it upright so the
tire's tread is on the ground.
4. Tilt the retainer at the end of the winch cable and remove it from the center of the
wheel.
