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.

WARNING!

Raising the vehicle higher than necessary can make
the vehicle less stable. It could slip off the jack and
hurt someone near it. Raise the vehicle only enough
to remove the tire.

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.
