If a tire goes flat while driving, grasp the steering wheel firmly, and brake gradually
to reduce speed. Stop in a safe place. Replace the flat tire with the compact spare
tire. Go to a dealer as soon as possible to have the full-size tire repaired or replaced.

Getting Ready to Change the Tire

Park the vehicle on a firm, level, non-slippery surface. Move the shift lever to Park
(P), and apply the parking brake. Turn the hazard warning lights on and turn the
vehicle off.

1. Open the tailgate. Turn on the cargo lights on

the inside of the tailgate, if necessary (see page
34). Open the cargo area floor lid.

2. Take the wheel nut wrench and jack handle bar

out of the cargo area.

3. Unscrew the wing bolt, and remove the spacer

cone. Then, remove the spare tire.

4. Take the jack out of the spare tire area.

5. Loosen each wheel nut about one turn using the

wheel nut wrench.

Setting Up the Jack

1. Place the jack under the jacking point closest to

the tire to be changed.

2. Turn the end bracket (as shown in the image)

clockwise until the top of the jack contacts the
jacking point. Make sure that the jacking point
tab is resting in the jack notch.

3. Raise the vehicle, using the jack handle bar and

the jack handle, until the tire is off the ground.

The following instructions must be followed to use the jack safely:

• Do not use the jack with people or luggage in the vehicle.
• Use the jack provided in your vehicle. Other jacks may not support the weight

(“load”) or fit the jacking point.

• Do not use while the engine is running.
• Use only where the ground is firm and level.
• Use only at the jacking points.
• Do not get in the vehicle while using the jack.
• Do not put anything on top of or underneath the jack.

The vehicle can easily roll off the jack, seriously injuring anyone underneath.
Follow the directions for changing a tire exactly, and never get under the

vehicle when it is supported only by the jack.
