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.

Jacking And Changing A Tire

1. Remove the spare tire, jack, and lug

wrench.

2. If equipped with aluminum wheels where

the center cap covers the lug nuts, use
the lug wrench to pry the center cap off
carefully before raising the vehicle.

3. Before raising the vehicle, use the lug

wrench to loosen, but not remove, the lug
nuts on the wheel with the flat tire. Turn
the lug nuts counterclockwise one turn
while the wheel is still on the ground.

4. Place the jack underneath the lift area that is closest to the flat tire. Turn the jack screw

clockwise to firmly engage the jack saddle with the lift area of the sill flange.
