Spare Tire Location

The spare tire is stowed underneath the rear of the

vehicle and is held in place by means of a cable winch

mechanism.

Preparations For Jacking

1. Park the vehicle on a firm, level surface as far from the

edge of the roadway as possible. Avoid icy or slippery

areas.

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.

2. Turn on the Hazard Warning flashers.
3. Set the parking brake.

4. Place the shift lever in PARK.
5. Turn OFF the ignition.
6. Block both the front and rear of the wheel diagonally

opposite of the jacking position. For

example, if changing the right front

tire, block the left rear wheel.

NOTE:

Passengers should not remain in the vehicle

when the vehicle is being jacked.
