Tire Change Procedure
WARNINGS
When one of the front wheels is off the
ground, the transmission alone will not
prevent your vehicle from moving or slipping
off the jack, even if the transmission is in park
(P) or neutral (N).
WARNINGS
To help prevent your vehicle from
moving when you change a tire, be
sure to place the transmission in park (P) or
neutral (N), set the parking brake, and block
(in both directions) the wheel that is
diagonally opposite (other side and end of
your vehicle) to the tire being changed.
Never get underneath a vehicle that is
supported only by a jack. If the vehicle
slips off the jack, you or someone else could
be seriously injured.
Do not attempt to change a tire on the
side of the vehicle close to moving
traffic. Pull far enough off the road to avoid
the danger of being hit when operating the
jack or changing the wheel.
Always use the jack provided as
original equipment with your vehicle.
If using a jack other than the one provided
as original equipment with your vehicle,
make sure the jack capacity is adequate for
the vehicle weight, including any vehicle
cargo or modifications.
Note: Passengers should not remain in your
vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked.
1. Park on a level surface, set the parking
brake and activate the hazard flashers.
2. Place the transmission in park (P) and
turn the engine off.
3. Remove the carpeted wheel cover.
4. Remove the wing nut that secures the
spare tire by turning it counterclockwise.

5. Remove the jack from the foam holder.
The lug wrench is located in the left side
storage foam next to the spare tire.
Remove the flat tire retainer strap from
the jack base.
