E166718

Note: Jack at the specified locations to
avoid damage to the vehicle.

1.

Place the vehicle jack at the jacking
point next to the tire you are changing.
Turn the jack handle clockwise until
the wheel is completely off the ground.

2. Remove the lug nuts with the lug

wrench.

3. Replace the flat tire with the spare tire,

making sure the valve stem is facing
outward. Reinstall the lug nuts until the
wheel is snug against the hub. Do not
fully tighten the lug nuts until the wheel
has been lowered.

4. Lower the wheel by turning the jack

handle counterclockwise.

5. Remove the vehicle jack and fully

tighten the lug nuts in the order shown.

Stowing the Flat or Spare Tire

Note: Failure to follow the spare tire
stowage instructions may result in failure of
the cable or loss of the spare tire.

1.

Lay the tire on the ground with the
valve stem facing up.

2. Slide the wheel partially under the

vehicle and install the retainer through
the wheel center. Pull on the cable to
align the components at the end of the
cable.

3. Turn the jack handle clockwise until

the tire is raised to its stowed position
underneath the vehicle. The effort to
turn the jack handle increases
significantly and the spare tire carrier
ratchets or slips when the tire is raised
to the maximum tightness. Tighten to

the best of your ability, to the point
where the ratchet or slip occurs, if
possible. The spare tire carrier will not
allow you to overtighten. If the spare
tire carrier ratchets or slips with little
effort, contact your authorized dealer.

4. Check that the tire lies flat against the

frame and is properly tightened. Try to
push or pull, then turn the tire to be
sure it will not move. Loosen and
retighten, if necessary. Failure to
properly stow the spare tire may result
in failure of the winch cable and loss
of the tire.

5. Repeat this tightness check procedure

when servicing the spare tire pressure
(every six months, as per your
scheduled maintenance information),
or at any time that the spare tire is
disturbed through service of other
components.

6. If removed, install the spare tire lock

into the bumper drive tube with the
spare tire lock key and jack handle.

Stowing the Vehicle Jack and Tool Bag
