JACKING AND TIRE CHANGING
WARNING!
• Do not attempt to change a tire on the
side of the vehicle close to moving traf-
fic. Pull far enough off the road to avoid
the danger of being hit when operating
the jack or changing the wheel.
• Being under a jacked-up vehicle is dan-
gerous. The vehicle could slip off the
jack and fall on you. You could be
crushed. Never put any part of your body
under a vehicle that is on a jack. If you
need to get under a raised vehicle, take
it to a service center where it can be
raised on a lift.
• Never start or run the engine while the
vehicle is on a jack.
• The jack is designed to be used as a tool
for changing tires only. The jack should
not be used to lift the vehicle for service
purposes. The vehicle should be jacked
on a firm level surface only. Avoid ice or
slippery areas.
NOTE:
If your vehicle is equipped with an air sus-
pension system, there is a feature which
allows the automatic leveling to be disabled
to assist with changing a tire.
This feature can be activated through the
Uconnect system.
Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multime-
dia” in your Owner’s Manual for further infor-
mation.
Jack Location
The jack and jack tools are stored under the
front passenger seat.
Removal Of Jack And Tools
To access the jack and jack tools, you must
remove the plastic access cover located on
the side of the front passenger’s seat. To
remove the cover, pull the front part of the
cover (closest to the front of the seat) toward
you to release a locking tab. Once the front of
the cover is loose, slide the cover toward the
front of the seat until it is free from the seat
frame.
Remove the jack and tools by turning the
wing bolt counterclockwise, remove the wing
bolt and then slide the assembly out from
under the seat.
