Spare Tire Location

The spare tire is stowed underneath the rear of the
vehicle and is held in place by means of a cable winch
mechanism.

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.

WARNING!

Do not attempt to change a tire on the side of the
vehicle close to moving traffic. Pull far enough off
the road to avoid the danger of being hit when
operating the jack or changing the wheel.

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.
