IN CASE OF EMERGENCY 317
Jack Warning Label
1. If equipped, remove the spare wheel and
tools from storage.
2. Using the lug wrench, loosen, but do not
remove, the lug nuts by turning them counter-
clockwise one turn while the wheel is still on
the ground.
3. When changing the front wheel, place the jack
under the axle as close to the tire as possible.
Front Jacking Locations
When changing a rear wheel, securely place
the jack under the sway bar bracket (unless
both tires are flat on one side, then place jack
under shock bracket) facing forward in vehicle.
Rear Jacking Location
Before raising the wheel off the ground, make
sure that the jack will not damage surrounding
truck parts and adjust the jack position as re-
quired.
4. Raise the vehicle until the wheel just clears the
surface.
5. Remove the lug nuts and pull the wheel off. For
Single Rear-Wheel (SRW) models, Install the
spare wheel and lug nuts with the cone shaped
end of the nuts toward the wheel. For Dual
Rear-Wheel (DRW) models, the lug nuts are a
two-piece assembly with a flat face. Lightly
tighten the nuts. To avoid risk of forcing the
vehicle off the jack, do not fully tighten the
nuts until the vehicle has been lowered.
6. Using the lug wrench, finish tightening the nuts
using a crisscross pattern Ú page 397. If in
doubt about the correct tightness, have them
checked with a torque wrench by an
authorized dealer or at a service station.
CAUTION!
Do not attempt to raise the vehicle by jacking on
locations other than those indicated in the
Jacking Instructions for this vehicle.
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.
