ground with enough cable slack to allow you to pull it

out from under the vehicle. When the spare is clear, tilt

center of the wheel.

It is recommended that you stow the flat or spare to

avoid tangling the loose cable.

the jack extensiontube only. Useof an air wrench orother

power tools is not recommended and can damage the

Tire Changing Procedure

WARNING!

Getting under a jacked-up vehicle is dangerous. The

vehicle could slip off the jack and fall on you. You

could be crushed. Never get any part of your body

under a vehicle that is on a jack. Never start or run

the engine while the vehicle is on a jack. If you need

to get under a raised vehicle, take it to a service

center where it can be raised on a lift.

Do not raise this vehicle using a bumper jack. The jack is

designed as a tool for changing tires on this vehicle only.

It is not recommended that the jack be used for service

purposes or to lift more than one wheel at a time.

Preparations

Park the vehicle on a firm level surface, avoiding ice or

slippery areas. Set the parking brake and place the gear

selector in PARK (automatic transmission) or REVERSE

(manual transmission). On four-wheel drive vehicles,

shift the transfer case to the “4L” position.
