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.
Regular cab models—To raise the ve-
hicle, insert the jack handle into the
jack (it is a loose fit) and turn it clock-
wise. As the jack touches the vehicle
and begins to lift, double- check that
it is properly positioned.

touches the vehicle and begins to lift,
double- check that it is properly posi-
tioned.
CAUTION

the vehicle is supported by the
jack alone.
