JACKING AND TIRE CHANGING
Jack Location
The jack and jack tools are stored under the front passenger seat.
Removing The Spare Tire
Remove the spare tire before attempting to jack up the vehicle.
1. Attach the lug bolt adapter to the winch extension and insert it into the winch
mechanism. The winch mechanism is located under the rear of the vehicle to the
right of the spare tire.
2. Rotate the wheel wrench handle
counterclockwise until the spare tire
is on the ground with enough cable
slack to allow you to pull it out from
under the vehicle.
3. Pull the spare tire out from under the
vehicle to gain access to the spare tire
retainer.
4. Remove the retainer nut prior to re-
moving the retainer from the wheel.
5. Lift the spare tire with one hand and
remove the retainer at the end of the
cable.
NOTE:
The winch mechanism is designed for
use with the winch extension only. Use of
an air wrench or other power tools is not
recommended and can damage the winch.
Preparations
1. Park the vehicle on a firm, level sur-
face as far from the edge of the road-
way as possible. Avoid icy or slippery
areas.
2. Turn on the Hazard Warning flasher.
3. Set the parking brake.
4. Place the shift lever into PARK.
