HAZARD WARNING FLASHERS

The Hazard Warning flasher switch is located on the
instrument panel below the climate controls.

Push the switch to turn on the Hazard Warning
flasher. When the switch is activated, all directional

turn signals will flash on and off to warn oncoming traffic
of an emergency. Push the switch a second time to turn off
the Hazard Warning flashers.

This is an emergency warning system and it should not be
used when the vehicle is in motion. Use it when your
vehicle is disabled and it is creating a safety hazard for
other motorists.

When you must leave the vehicle to seek assistance, the
Hazard Warning flashers will continue to operate even
though the ignition is placed in the OFF position.

NOTE:

With extended use the Hazard Warning flashers

may wear down your battery.

CAUTION!

• When installing the IPM cover, it is important to

ensure the cover is properly positioned and fully
latched. Failure to do so may allow water to get into
the IPM, and possibly result in an electrical system
failure.

• 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
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.

(Continued)

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

249

WARNING! (Continued)

• 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.

Jack Location

The jack and jack-handle are stowed under the load floor in
the cargo area.

Spare Tire Stowage

The compact spare tire is stowed under the rear load floor
in the cargo area.

Spare Tire Removal

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

Preparations For Jacking

1. Park the vehicle on a firm level surface, avoiding ice 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 the danger of being hit when operating
the jack or changing the wheel.

2. Turn on the Hazard Warning flasher.

3. Set the parking brake.

4. Place the gear selector in PARK (automatic transmis-

sion) or REVERSE (manual transmission).

5. Turn OFF the ignition.

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

opposite of the jacking position. For ex-
ample, if changing the right front tire, block
the left rear wheel.

NOTE:

Passengers should not remain in the vehicle while

the vehicle is being jacked.

Jacking Instructions

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.

• Block the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to be

raised.

• Set the parking brake firmly and set an automatic

transmission in PARK; a manual transmission in
REVERSE.

• 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.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

251

WARNING! (Continued)

• 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.

NOTE:

Refer to “Tires — General Information” in “Servic-

ing And Maintenance” for further information about the
spare tire, it’s use, and operation.

1. Remove the scissors jack and lug wrench from the spare

wheel as an assembly. Turn the jack screw to the left to
loosen the lug wrench and remove the wrench from the
jack assembly.

NOTE:

The jack handle attaches to the side of the jack with

two attachment points. When the jack is partially ex-
panded, the tension between the two attachment points
holds the jack handle in place.

2. Loosen, but do not remove, the wheel nuts by turning

them to the left one turn while the wheel is still on the
ground.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

NOTE:

There are front and rear jacking locations on each

side of the body. The front locations are outlined by two
triangular cutouts on one of the flanges in the sill flange
assembly. The rear location is the same but with two
rectangular cutouts. For vehicles equipped with plastic
trim, the plastic has been cut away to expose the jacking
locations in the body.

CAUTION!

Do not attempt to raise the vehicle by jacking on
locations other than those indicated in the Jacking
Instructions for this vehicle.

Jacking Locations

Front Jacking Location

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

253

Do not raise the vehicle until you are sure the jack is
securely engaged.

3. Turn the jack screw to the left until the jack can be placed

under the jacking location. Once the jack is positioned,
turn the jack screw to the right until the jack head is
properly engaged with the lift area closest to the wheel
to be changed.

WARNING!

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.

4. Using the swivel wrench raise the vehicle by turning the

jack screw to the right. Raise the vehicle only until the
tire just clears the surface and enough clearance is
obtained to install the spare tire. Minimum tire lift
provides maximum stability.

5. Remove the wheel nuts and pull the wheel and wheel

covers, where applicable, off the hub. Install the spare
wheel and wheel nuts with the cone shaped end of the
nuts toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the nuts.

WARNING!

To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the jack, do
not tighten the wheel nuts fully until the vehicle has
been lowered. Failure to follow this warning may
result in serious injury.

Rear Jacking Location

254

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

WARNING!

To avoid possible personal injury, handle the wheel
covers with care to avoid contact with any sharp edges.

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.

NOTE:

The wheel cover is held on the wheel by the wheel

nuts. When reinstalling the original wheel, properly align
the wheel cover to the valve stem, place the wheel cover
onto the wheel, then install the wheel nuts.

6. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw to the left.

7. Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on the

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 Specifi-
cations” in “Technical Specifications” for the correct lug
nut torque. If you doubt that you have tightened the
nuts correctly, have them checked with a torque wrench
by your authorized dealer or service station.

8. Remove the wheel blocks and lower the jack until it is

free. Release the parking brake. Reassemble the lug
wrench to the jack assembly and stow it in the spare tire
area. Secure the assembly using the means provided.

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.
