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
assembly when operating the winch mecha-
nism.
2. Fit the assembled jack-handle over the

winch drive nut located in the jack stor-
age area. Rotate the jack-handle assem-
bly counterclockwise 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.

3. Pull the spare tire out from underneath the vehicle and raise it upright so the tire's

tread is on the ground.
