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 (if equipped - the air
suspension system is controlled
through the message center. Refer
to Air suspension system in the
Driving chapter for more information). Also, turn off the deployable
running boards (if equipped). See Message center in the Instrument
Cluster
section.

3. Obtain the spare tire and jack tools 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 location point, NOT the
control arm.
