JACKING AND TIRE CHANGING

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.
