Jacking instructions

The jack is provided for emergency tire changing only.

  • To prevent the jack from "rattling" while the vehicle is in motion, store it properly.

  • Follow jacking instructions to reduce the possibility of personal injury.

    WARNING

    Changing tires

    • Never attempt vehicle repairs in the traffic lanes of a public road or highway.

    • Always move the vehicle completely off the road and onto the shoulder before trying to change a tire. The jack should be used on firm level ground. If you cannot find a firm level place off the road, call a towing service company for assistance.

    • Be sure to use the correct front and rear jacking positions on the vehicle; never use the bumpers or any other part of the vehicle for jacking support.

    • The vehicle can roll off the jack causing serious injury or death.

    • Do not get under a vehicle that is supported by a jack.

    • Do not start or run the engine while the vehicle is on the jack.

    • Do not allow anyone to remain in the vehicle while it is on the jack.

    • Make sure any children present are in a secure place away from the road and from the vehicle to be raised with the jack.

    WARNING

    Tire jack

    Do not place any portion of your body under a vehicle that is only supported by a jack since the vehicle can easily roll off the jack. Use vehicle support stands.

WARNING

Running vehicle on jack

Do not start or run the engine of the vehicle while the vehicle is on the jack as this may cause the vehicle to fall off the jack.

NOTICE

Retreaded tires

Substantial design variations and the age of the retreaded tire casing structure can limit service life and have negative impact on road safety.

Removing the spare tire

Your spare tire is stored underneath the back of your vehicle, directly below the right sliding door.

To remove the spare tire:

  1. Open the luggage floor cover and find the plastic hex bolt cover on the floor.

  2. Remove the cover.

  3. Use the tool to loosen the bolt enough to lower the spare tire.

    Turn the tool counterclockwise until the spare tire reaches the ground.

  4. After the spare tire reaches the ground, continue to turn the tool counterclockwise, and draw the spare tire outside. Never rotate the tool excessively, otherwise the spare tire carrier may be damaged.

  5. Remove the retainer from the center of the spare tire.
