NOTE:
In some situations the jack may need to be
placed on its side in order to be pushed
under the vehicle. Return the jack to its
correct orientation once it is under the
vehicle.
WARNING!
Being under a jacked-up vehicle is danger-
ous. The vehicle could slip off the jack and
fall on you. Y ou could be crushed. Never get
any part of your body under a vehicle that 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.
3. Place the wrench on the jack screw and turn
to the right until the jack head is properly
engaged in the appropriate location. 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 compact spare tire. Minimum tire
lift provides maximum stability.
WARNING!
Raising the vehicle higher than necessary
can make the vehicle less stable. It could slip
off the jack and hurt someone near it. Raise
the vehicle only enough to remove the tire.
5. Remove the wheel lug nuts. For vehicles
with wheel covers, remove the cover from the
wheel by hand by holding down the wheel
and pulling on convenient features on the
cover. Do not pry the wheel cover off. Then
pull the wheel off the hub.
6.
Install the compact spare tire. Lightly tighten
all the lug nuts until the wheel sits flush onto
the hub and there is no play . The nuts will have
to be fully tightened once the vehicle is low-
ered. Tightening an improperly seated wheel
under vehicle load can damage the threads,
cause vibration, and undermine safety.
CAUTION!
Be sure to mount the spare tire with the valve
stem facing outward. The vehicle could be
damaged if the spare tire is mounted incor-
rectly.
WARNING!
To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the
jack, do not tighten the wheel nuts fully until
the vehicle has been lowered. Failure to fol-
low this warning may result in serious injury.
NOTE:
Do not install the wheel cover on the com-
pact spare.
7. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw
to the left.
