Spare Tire Removal

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 85 lbs (38.5 kg) including the weight of the

spare tire.

Preparations For Jacking

1. Park on a firm, level surface. Avoid ice 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 being hit when operating the jack
or changing the wheel.

2. Turn on the Hazard Warning flasher.
3. Set the parking brake.
4. Shift the automatic transmission into PARK, or a

manual transmission into REVERSE.

5. Turn the ignition to LOCK.
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.
