User Guide
• 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.
• Raise the vehicle by turning the jack screw
clockwise. Raise the vehicle only until the tire
just clears the surface and enough clearance
is obtained to install the spare tire.
• Remove the lug nuts, wheel cover (if
equipped) and wheel.
• Position the spare wheel/tire on the vehicle
and install the lug nuts with the cone-shaped
end toward the wheel. Do NOT attempt to
install a center cap or wheel cover on the
compact spare. Lightly tighten the lug nuts
clockwise. To avoid the risk of forcing the
vehicle off the jack, do not tighten the nuts
fully until the vehicle has been lowered.
• Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw
counterclockwise, and remove the jack and
wheel blocks.
• Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on
the wrench while tightening for increased
leverage. Alternate nuts until each one has
been tightened twice. The correct wheel nut
tightness is 100 ft lbs (135 N•m). If in doubt
about the correct tightness, have them
checked with a torque wrench by your
authorized dealer or at a service station.
• Secure the tire, jack and tools in their proper
locations.
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.
• Getting under a jacked-up vehicle is dangerous. The vehicle could slip off the jack and
fall on you. You could be crushed. Never get any part of your body 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.
• The jack is designed to use 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.
