JACKING AND TIRE CHANGING
WARNING!
• Being under a jacked-up vehicle is dangerous. The vehicle could slip off the jack
and fall on you. You could be crushed. Never put any part of your body under a
vehicle that is on a jack. Never start or run the engine while the vehicle is on a
jack. If you need to get under a raised vehicle, take it to a service center where it
can be raised on a lift.
• The jack is designed to use as a tool for changing tires only. The jack should not
be used to lift the vehicle for service purposes. The vehicle should be jacked on a
firm, level surface only. Avoid ice or slippery areas.
Jack Location
• The jack and jack-handle are stowed
behind the right rear side trim panel in the
cargo area.
• Do not attempt to raise this vehicle using a
bumper jack.
Spare Tire Stowage
• The compact spare tire is stowed under the rear of the vehicle by means of a
hook/basket mechanism. To remove or stow the compact spare, use the jack handle
to rotate the “spare tire drive” nut. The nut is located under the rear scuff plate at
the right rear of the cargo area, just inside the liftgate opening.
