Dodge 2010 Journey - User Guide - Manual (Page 58)

Jack Location
• The jack and jack-handle are stowed underneath a cover in the rear storage bin in the
cargo area.
• Remove the pouch containing the scissors jack, jack handle, and tools.
Spare Tire Stowage
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.
• To remove the spare tire, remove the jack-handle components from the storage bin in
the cargo area and assemble them.
• Lower the spare tire by turning the spare tire drive nut, located in the jack storage
area, counterclockwise with the jack-handle assembly 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.
• Raise the tire upright so the tire’s tread is on the ground and tilt the retainer at the end
of the winch cable to remove it from the center of the wheel.
Preparations For Jacking
• Park on a firm, level surface. Avoid ice or slippery areas.
• Set the parking brake and place the shift lever into PARK.
• Turn the ignition to LOCK and turn on the Hazard Warning flasher.
