Spare Tire Stowage

To remove the spare tire from the carrier, remove the tire
cover, if equipped, and remove the lug nuts with the lug
wrench turning them counterclockwise.

NOTE:

If you have added aftermarket accessories to the

spare tire mounted carrier, it cannot exceed a gross
weight of 50 lbs (23 kg) including the weight of the spare
tire.

Preparations For Jacking

Park on a firm level surface, avoid ice or slippery areas,
set the parking brake

and place automatic transmission

in P (Park), or manual transmission in R (Reverse). Turn
OFF the ignition.

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 being hit when operating the jack
or changing the wheel.

• Turn on the Hazard Warning Flasher.

• Block both the front and rear

of the wheel diagonally oppo-
site of the jacking position.
For example, if changing the
right front tire, block the left
rear wheel.

• Passengers should not remain in the vehicle when the

vehicle is being jacked.
