3. Loosen the wheel nuts — but do

not remove them — using the
lug wrench. For wheels with
a wheel lock key, use the wheel
lock key between the lock nut
and lug wrench. The key is
supplied in the front passenger
door pocket.

Notice: If this vehicle has wheel
locks and an impact wrench is
used to remove the wheel nuts,
the lock nut or wheel lock key
could be damaged. Do not use an
impact wrench to remove the
wheel nuts if this vehicle has
wheel locks.

4. To identify the appropriate

jacking location, find the
triangle (A) about 12 inches (30.5
cm) from the front tire or (B)
about 10.5 inches (27 cm) from
the rear tire.

The triangle is located near each
wheel on the vehicle’s exterior.

Notice: If a jack is used to raise
the vehicle without positioning it
correctly, the vehicle could be
damaged. When raising the
vehicle on a jack, avoid contact
with the rear axle control arms.

5. Do not raise the vehicle yet. Put

the compact spare tire near you.

{

CAUTION

Getting under a vehicle when it is
jacked up is dangerous. If the
vehicle slips off the jack, you
could be badly injured or killed.
Never get under a vehicle when it
is supported only by a jack.

{

CAUTION

Raising your vehicle with the jack
improperly positioned can damage
the vehicle and even make the
vehicle fall. To help avoid
personal injury and vehicle
damage, be sure to fit the jack lift
head into the proper location
before raising the vehicle.

6. Attach the lug wrench to the

jack, and turn the wrench
clockwise to raise the jack head
3 inches (7.6 cm).
