Dodge Charger (2019 year). Manual

CAUTION!

• When installing the power distribution center cover,

it is important to ensure the cover is properly posi-
tioned and fully latched. Failure to do so may allow
water to get into the power distribution center and
possibly result in an electrical system failure.

(Continued)

CAUTION! (Continued)

• When replacing a blown fuse, it is important to use

only a fuse having the correct amperage rating. The
use of a fuse with a rating other than indicated may
result in a dangerous electrical system overload. If a
properly rated fuse continues to blow, it indicates a
problem in the circuit that must be corrected.

JACKING AND TIRE CHANGING

WARNING!

• Do not attempt to change a tire on the side of the

vehicle close to moving traffic. 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 dangerous. The

vehicle could slip off the jack and fall on you. You
could be crushed. Never put any part of your body

(Continued)

WARNING! (Continued)

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.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

325

Jack Location/Spare Tire Stowage

cover in the trunk. Follow these steps to access the jack and
spare tire.

NOTE:

The spare tire must be removed in order to access

the jack.

6. Remove the wheel chocks, jack and lug wrench assem-

bly from under the spare tire. Turn the jack screw to the
left to loosen the lug wrench, and remove the wrench
from the jack assembly.

WARNING!

A loose tire or jack thrown forward in a collision or
hard stop could endanger the occupants of the vehicle.
Always stow the jack parts and the spare tire in the
places provided. Have the deflated (flat) tire repaired
or replaced immediately.

Preparations For Jacking

1. Park the vehicle on a firm, level surface as far from the edge

of the roadway as possible. Avoid icy or slippery areas.

WARNING!

Do not attempt to change a tire on the side of the
vehicle close to moving traffic. Pull far enough off the
road to avoid being hit when operating the jack or
changing the wheel.

2. Turn on the Hazard Warning flasher.

3. Apply the parking brake.

4. Place the gear selector into PARK.

5. Turn off the ignition.

6. Block both the front and rear of the wheel diagonally

opposite of the jacking position using the provided
wheel chocks. For example, if changing the right front
tire, chock the left rear wheel. Place both chocks under
the tire.

NOTE:

Passengers should not remain in

the vehicle when the vehicle is being
jacked.

Jacking And Changing A Tire

WARNING!

Carefully follow these tire changing warnings to help
prevent personal injury or damage to your vehicle:
• Always park on a firm, level surface as far from the

edge of the roadway as possible before raising the
vehicle.

• Turn on the Hazard Warning flasher.

(Continued)

WARNING! (Continued)

• Chock the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to be

raised.

• Apply the parking brake firmly and set an automatic

transmission in PARK.

• Never start or run the engine with the vehicle on a

jack.

• Do not let anyone sit in the vehicle when it is on a

jack.

• Do not get under the vehicle when it 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.

• Only use the jack in the positions indicated and for

lifting this vehicle during a tire change.

• If working on or near a roadway, be extremely

careful of motor traffic.

• To assure that spare tires, flat or inflated, are securely

stowed, spares must be stowed with the valve stem
facing the ground.

328

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

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 the spare tire, jack, wheel chocks, and lug

wrench.

NOTE:

When the following label is present, the spare tire

must be used for the rear wheel(s) only. For a flat front tire,
you must first install the spare on one of the rear tires.
Then, follow the jacking instructions for front tire replace-
ment and replace the front road wheel with the wheel
removed from the rear of the vehicle.

2. If equipped with aluminum wheels where the center cap

covers the lug nuts, use the lug wrench to pry the center
cap off carefully before raising the vehicle.

3. Before raising the vehicle, use the lug wrench to loosen,

but not remove, the lug nuts on the wheel with the flat
tire. Turn the lug nuts counterclockwise one turn while
the wheel is still on the ground.

4. Place the jack underneath the lift area that is closest to

the flat tire. Turn the jack screw clockwise to firmly
engage the jack saddle with the lift area of the sill flange.

NOTE:

If the vehicle is too low for jack placement, slide the

jack on its side and rotate it up into position.

5. Raise the vehicle just enough to remove the flat tire and

install the spare tire.

Raising the vehicle higher than necessary can make the
vehicle less stable. 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 tire.

7. Mount the spare tire.

CAUTION!

Be sure to mount the spare tire with the valve stem
facing outward. The vehicle could be damaged if the
spare tire is mounted incorrectly.

tion.

8. Install the lug nuts with the cone shaped end of the lug

nut toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the lug nuts.

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. Refer to “Torque
Specifications” in “Technical Specifications” for proper
lug nut torque.

sure the base of the jack faces the front of the vehicle
before tightening down the fastener.
