JACKING AND TIRE CHANGING
WARNING!
• 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.
• Being under a jacked-up vehicle is dangerous. The
vehicle could slip off the jack and fall on you. You
could be crushed. Never put any part of your body
under a vehicle that is on a jack. If you need to get
under a raised vehicle, take it to a service center
where it can be raised on a lift.
• Never start or run the engine while the vehicle is
on a jack.

WARNING! (Continued)
• The jack is designed to be used as a tool for
changing tires only. The jack should not be used to
lift the vehicle for service purposes. The vehicle
should be jacked on a firm level surface only.
Avoid ice or slippery areas.
CAUTION!
Damage to the AWD (All-Wheel Drive) system is
possible if the following procedure is not followed
when the compact spare is used:
• After installing the compact spare, drive the vehicle
at a low speed 8-12 mph (13-19 km/h) until the AWD
system disengages, approximately 10 seconds (the
AWD! Indicator light in the cluster will illuminate).
• This procedure will need to be followed every
time the vehicle is restarted with the compact
spare in use.
