Roadside Emergencies 2. Attach the spare tire lock key (A) to the jack handle (B). 3. Fully insert the jack handle through the bumper hole and into the guide tube. The key and lock will engage with a slight push and counterclockwise turn. Some resistance will be felt when turning the jack handle assembly. 4. Turn the handle counterclockwise until tire is lowered to the ground, the tire can be slid rearward and the cable is slightly slack. 5. Remove the retainer from the spare tire. Tire change procedure To prevent the vehicle from moving when you change a tire, be sure the parking brake is set, then block (in both directions) the wheel that is diagonally opposite (other side and end of the vehicle) to the tire being changed. If the vehicle slips off the jack, you or someone else could be seriously injured. Refer to the instruction sheet (located with the jack) for detailed tire change instructions. 188 2003 F150 (f12) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA English (fus)
