1. Block the wheels (both front or
both rear) on the opposite end of
the vehicle from the wheel being
changed. If on a grade, block both
wheels on the downward side of the
hill.

2. Turn off the air suspension system. The air suspension system is
controlled through the message center. Refer to Air suspension system
in the Driving section for more information. Also, turn off the
deployable running boards (if equipped). See Message center in the
Driver controls section.

3. Obtain the spare tire and jack from their storage locations.

4. Use the tip of the jack handle to
remove any wheel trim. Loosen each
wheel lug nut one-half turn
counterclockwise but do not remove
them until the wheel is raised off
the ground.

5. Position the jack according to the
jack locator arrows found on the
frame and turn the jack handle and
extension tool assembly clockwise.
Note: Use the frame rail as the
jacking point, NOT the control arm.

6. Lift the vehicle so the tire is no
further than 1 inch (2.5 cm) off the
ground when installing the spare tire.
