Jeep Grand Cherokee, Operating Information Manual

Page: 226 / 315

CAUTION!
Do not attempt to raise the vehicle by jacking
on locations other than those indicated in the
Jacking Instructions for this vehicle.
1. Remove spare tire.
2. Remove jack and tools from mounting
bracket. Assemble the tools by connecting the
driver to the extension, and then to the lug
wrench.
3. Loosen (but do not remove) the wheel lug
nuts by turning them to the left one turn while
the wheel is still on the ground.
4. Locate the jack as shown. For the front tires,
place it (rearward) of the notch on the body
weld seam behind wheel to be changed.
For the rear tires, place it under the axle by the
wheel to be changed.
Position the jack handle on the jack. Do not
raise the vehicle until you are sure the jack
is fully engaged.
5. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack screw
to the right. 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.
WARNING!
Raising the vehicle higher than necessary can
make the vehicle less stable and cause a
collision. It could slip off the jack and hurt
someone near it. Raise the vehicle only
enough to remove the tire.
6. Remove the lug nuts and wheel.
7. Position the spare wheel/tire on the vehicle
and install lug nuts with the cone-shaped end
toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the nuts.
