WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES Jack Location • The scissor-type jack and tire changing tools are located in the left rear trim panel behind the second row seat. Spare Tire Stowage • To remove the spare tire, remove the jack-handle components from the storage bin in the left rear trim panel and assemble them. • Lower the spare tire by turning the winch drive nut, located in the rear cargo area inside the vehicle, counterclockwise with the jack-handle assembly until the spare tire is on the ground with enough cable slack to allow you to pull the spare tire out from underneath the vehicle. • When the spare is clear, tilt the retainer at the end of the cable and pull it through the center of the wheel. Preparations For Jacking • Park on a firm, level surface. Avoid ice or slippery areas. • Set the parking brake and shift the automatic transmission into PARK. • Turn the ignition to LOCK and turn on the Hazard Warning flasher. • Block both the front and rear of the wheel diagonally 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. 50
