Preparations For Jacking
1. Park the vehicle on a firm, level surface as far from the edge of the roadway as possible.
Avoid icy or slippery areas.
2. Turn on the Hazard Warning flashers.
3. Set the parking brake.
4. Place the shift lever in PARK.
5. Turn OFF the ignition.
6. 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.
Spare Tire Removal
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.
1. Remove the jack-handle components 1, 2 and 3 from storage and assemble them.
NOTE:
Assemble components 2 and 3 by seating
the small ball at the end of component 2 in
the small hole at the end of component 3.
This will lock these components together.
Assemble components 1 and 2 so that the
wheel nut socket at the end of component 1
faces upward when seated on component 2.
This will make it easier to rotate the assem-
bly when operating the winch mechanism.
