Dodge 2011 Grand_Caravan - User Guide - Manual (Page 69)

Front jack location is on the sill flange of
the vehicle body and is located 6 in
(150 mm) from door edge.
NOTE: In some situations the jack may
need to be placed on its side in order to be
pushed under the vehicle. Return the jack
to its correct orientation once it is under
the vehicle.
3. Place the wrench on the jack screw
and turn to the right until the jack
head is properly engaged in the
described location. Do not raise the
vehicle until you are sure the jack is
securely engaged.
4. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack
screw to the right, using the swivel
wrench. 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.
5. Remove the wheel lug nuts, for
vehicles with wheel covers, remove
the cover from the wheel by hand. Do
not pry the wheel cover off. Then pull
the wheel off the hub.
6. Install the compact spare tire. Lightly
tighten the lug nuts.
NOTE:
• Do not install the wheel cover on the compact spare.
• Do not use a hammer or force to install the wheel covers.
7. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw to the left.
8. Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on the wrench while tightening for
increased leverage. Alternate lug nuts until each nut has been tightened twice.
The correct wheel nut tightness is 102 ft lbs (138 N·m). If in doubt about the
correct tightness, have them checked with a torque wrench by your authorized
dealer or at a service station.
9. Lower the jack to its fully-closed position.
10. Place the deflated (flat) tire and compact spare tire cover assembly in the rear
cargo area. Do not stow the deflated tire in the spare tire location. Have the
full-sized tire repaired or replaced, as soon as possible.
