• 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.

Jacking And Tire Changing Instructions

• Remove the spare tire, jack and lug wrench.

• If equipped with steel wheels, do not remove the wheel cover at this time. If

equipped with aluminum wheels where the center cap covers the lug nuts, use the
lug wrench to pry the center cap off carefully before raising the vehicle.

• Loosen (but do not remove) the wheel lug nuts by turning them counterclockwise

one turn while the wheel is still on the ground.

• Assemble the jack and jacking tools. Connect the jack handle driver to the

extension, then to the lug wrench.

• Place the jack underneath the lift area that is closest to the flat tire. Turn the jack

screw clockwise to firmly engage the jack saddle with the lift area of the sill flange.
