Jeep 2012 Compass - User Guide - Manual (Page 72)

For vehicles equipped with plastic
trim, the plastic has been cut away to
expose the jacking locations in the
body.
Do not raise the vehicle until you are
sure the jack is securely engaged.
3. Turn the jack screw to the left
until the jack can be placed under
the jacking location. Once the
jack is positioned, turn the jack
screw to the right until the jack
head is properly engaged with
the lift area closest to the wheel
to be changed.
4. Using the swivel wrench raise the
vehicle by turning the jack screw
to the right. 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 nuts and pull
the wheel and wheel covers,
where applicable, off the hub.
Install the spare wheel and wheel
nuts with the cone shaped end of
the nuts toward the wheel.
Lightly tighten the nuts.
NOTE: The wheel cover is held on the
wheel by the wheel nuts. When
reinstalling the original wheel,
properly align the wheel cover to
the valve stem, place the wheel
cover onto the wheel, then install
the wheel nuts.
6. Lower the vehicle by turning the
jack screw to the left.
