Dodge 2013 Grand Caravan, User Manual

Page: 94 / 132

Front jack location is on the sill flange of the vehicle body and is located 6 in (150 mm)
from door edge.
NOTE:
In some situations the jack may need to be
placed on its side in order to be pushed un-
der the vehicle. Return the jack to its correct
orientation once it is under the vehicle.
3. Place the wrench on the jack screw and
turn to the right until the jack head is
properly engaged in the described loca-
tion.
Do not raise the vehicle until you
are sure the jack is securely engaged.
4. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack
screw to the right, using the swivel wrench. Raise the vehicle only until the tire just clears
the surface and enough clearance is obtained to install the spare tire. Minimum tire lift
provides maximum stability.
5. Remove the wheel lug nuts, for vehicles with wheel covers, remove the cover from the
wheel by hand. Do not pry the wheel cover off. Then pull the wheel off the hub.
6. Install the compact spare tire. Lightly tighten the lug nuts.
NOTE:
• Do not install the wheel cover on the
compact spare.
• Do not use a hammer or force to install
the wheel covers.
7. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack
screw to the left.
8. Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down
on the wrench while at the end of the
handle for increased leverage. Tighten
the lug nuts in a star pattern until each nut has been tightened twice. The correct wheel
nut tightness is 102 ft lbs (138 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.
9. Lower the jack to its fully-closed position.
10. 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.
11. Stow the cable and wheel spacer before driving the vehicle. Reassemble the winch
handle extensions to form a “T” and fit the winch T-handle over the drive nut. Rotate the
nut to the right until the winch mechanism clicks at least three times.
