Preparations For Jacking

1. Park the vehicle on a firm, level surface. Avoid ice or slippery areas.

2. Turn on the Hazard Warning flasher.

3. Set the parking brake.

4. Place the shift lever into PARK.

5. Turn OFF the ignition.

• Block both the front and rear of the

wheel diagonally opposite 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 Instructions

NOTE: Refer to the “Compact Spare Tire” section of “Tires – General Information” for
information about the spare tire, its use, and operation.

1. Loosen (but do not remove) the wheel lug nuts by turning them to the left one

turn while the wheel is still on the ground.

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.
