IN CASE OF EMERGENCY 307
4. For a rear tire, place the jack in the slot on
the rear tie-down bracket, just forward of
the rear tire (as indicated by the triangular
lift point symbol on the sill molding). Do not
raise the vehicle until you are sure the jack
is fully engaged.

5. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack screw
clockwise. 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.
6. Remove the lug nuts and wheel.
7. Position the spare wheel/tire on the vehicle
and install the lug nuts with the
cone-shaped end toward the wheel. Lightly
tighten the nuts.
Mounting Spare Tire
CAUTION!
Do NOT raise the vehicle by the body side sill
molding. Be sure the jack is placed in the
proper engagement location on the inside of
the panel. Damage of the vehicle may occur if
the procedure is not properly followed.
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.
CAUTION!
Be sure to mount the spare tire with the valve
stem facing outward. The vehicle could be
damaged if the inflatable spare tire is
mounted incorrectly.
