WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES • Place the jack: • Rear jack locations are between a pair of down-facing tabs on the sill flange of the vehicle side body. • Front jack locations are on the sill flange of the vehicle side body and align with front door edges. • Turn the jack screw clockwise to firmly engage the jack saddle with the lift area of the sill flange. • Raise the vehicle by turning the jack screw clockwise. Raise the vehicle only until the tire just clears the surface and enough clearance is obtained to install the spare tire. WARNING! Raising the vehicle higher than necessary can make the vehicle less stable and cause an accident. It could slip off the jack and hurt someone near it. Raise the vehicle only enough to remove the tire. • Remove the lug nuts and wheel. • Position the spare wheel/tire on the vehicle and install the lug nuts with the cone-shaped end toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the lug nuts clockwise. To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the jack, do not tighten the nuts fully until the vehicle has been lowered. • Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw counterclockwise, and remove the jack and wheel blocks. 61
