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. • 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. • Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on the wrench while tightening for increased leverage. Alternate nuts until each one has been tightened twice. The correct wheel nut tightness is 95 ft lbs (130 N•m). If in doubt about the correct tightness, have them checked with a torque wrench by your authorized dealer or at a service station. • Place the deflated (flat) tire and compact spare tire cover assembly in the rear cargo area. DO NOT stow the deflated tire in the spare tire location. Have the full-sized tire repaired or replaced as soon as possible. • To stow the winch cable and wheel spacer, fit the assembled jack-handle over the winch drive nut. Rotate the jack-handle assembly clockwise until you hear the winch mechanism click three times. • Secure the jack and tools in their proper locations. 62
