2. There are two jack engagement locations on each side of the vehicle body. These

locations are on the sill flange of the vehicle body.

Rear jack locations are between a pair of down-facing tabs on the sill flange of the
vehicle side body.

Front jack location is on the sill flange of the vehicle body and is located 6 in
(150 mm) from door edge.

NOTE:
In some situations the jack may need to
be placed on its side in order to be
pushed under the vehicle. Return the
jack to its correct orientation once it is
under the vehicle.

3. Place the wrench on the jack screw and turn to the right until the jack head is

properly engaged in the described location. Do not raise the vehicle until you are
sure the jack is securely engaged.

4. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack screw to the right, using the swivel wrench.

Raise the vehicle only until the tire just clears the surface and enough clearance
is obtained to install the spare tire. Minimum tire lift provides maximum stability.

5. Remove the wheel lug nuts, for vehicles with wheel covers, remove the cover from

the wheel by hand. Do not pry the wheel cover off. Then pull the wheel off the hub.
