Front jack location is on the sill flange of the vehicle body and is located 6 in (150 mm)
from door edge.

NOTE:
In some situations the jack may need to be
placed on its side in order to be pushed un-
der the vehicle. Return the jack to its correct
orientation once it is under the vehicle.

3. Place the wrench on the jack screw and

turn to the right until the jack head is
properly engaged in the described loca-
tion. Do not raise the vehicle until you
are sure the jack is securely engaged.

4. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack

screw to the right, using the swivel
wrench. Raise the vehicle only until the tire just clears the surface and enough clearance
is obtained to install the spare tire. Minimum tire lift provides maximum stability.

5. Remove the wheel lug nuts, for vehicles with wheel covers, remove the cover from the

wheel by hand. Do not pry the wheel cover off. Then pull the wheel off the hub.

6. Install the compact spare tire. Lightly tighten the lug nuts.

NOTE:

• Do not install the wheel cover on the

compact spare.

• Do not use a hammer or force to install

the wheel covers.

7. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack

screw to the left.

8. Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down

on the wrench while at the end of the
handle for increased leverage. Tighten
the lug nuts in a star pattern until each
nut has been tightened twice. The correct wheel nut tightness is 100 ft lbs (135 N·m). If in
doubt about the correct tightness, have them checked with a torque wrench by your
authorized dealer or at a service station.

9. Lower the jack to its fully-closed position.
