Jack point guide

With side mud guards—The jack point
guides are located under the side mud
guards. They indicate the jack point posi-
tions.

6. After making sure that no one is in

the vehicle, raise it high enough so
that the spare tire can be installed.

Remember you will need more ground
clearance when putting on the spare tire
than when removing the flat tire.

To raise the vehicle, insert the jack handle
into the jack (it is a loose fit) and turn it
clockwise. As the jack touches the vehicle
and begins to lift, double–check that it is
properly positioned.

CAUTION

Never get under the vehicle when the
vehicle is supported by the jack
alone.
