W H AT TO D O I N E M E R G E N C I E S Jacking Instructions 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 expanded, the tension between the two attachment points holds the jack handle in place. 2.
W H AT TO D O I N E M E R G E N C I E S 4. 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. Do not raise the vehicle until you are sure the jack is securely engaged. 5. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack screw to the right, using the swivel wrench.
W H AT TO D O I N E M E R G E N C I E S Road Tire Installation Vehicles Equipped With Wheel Covers 1. Mount the road tire on the axle. 2. To ease the installation process for steel wheels with wheel covers, install two lug nuts on the mounting studs which are on each side of the valve stem. Install the lug nuts with the cone shaped end of the nut toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the lug nuts. 3. Align the valve notch in the wheel cover with the valve stem on the wheel.
W H AT TO D O I N E M E R G E N C I E S CAUTION! • • Do not attempt to raise the vehicle by jacking on locations other than those indicated in the Jacking Instructions for this vehicle. 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. WARNING! • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Being under a jacked-up vehicle is dangerous. The vehicle could slip off the jack and fall on you. You could be crushed.
W H AT TO D O I N E M E R G E N C I E S BATTERY LOCATION • The battery in your vehicle is located between the left front headlight assembly and the left front wheel splash shield. To allow jump-starting there are remote battery posts located on the left side of the engine compartment. JUMP-STARTING • If your vehicle has a discharged battery it can be jump-started using a set of jumper cables and a battery in another vehicle or by using a portable battery booster pack.
W H AT TO D O I N E M E R G E N C I E S Jump-Starting Procedure 1. Connect the positive (+) end of the jumper cable to the remote positive (+) post of the discharged vehicle. 2. Connect the opposite end of the positive (+) jumper cable to the positive (+) post of the booster battery. 3. Connect the negative end (-) of the jumper cable to the negative (-) post of the booster battery. 4.
W H AT TO D O I N E M E R G E N C I E S WARNING! • • • • • • • When temperatures are below the freezing point, electrolyte in a discharged battery may freeze. Do not attempt jump-starting because the battery could rupture or explode and cause personal injury. Battery temperature must be brought above the freezing point before attempting a jump-start. Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan whenever the hood is raised. It can start anytime the ignition switch is on.
FWD With a Key FWD Without a Key Model Flatbed Towing (all four wheels suspended OFF the ground) Recommended Method Recommended Method Flat Towing (all four wheels on the ground) NOT Permitted Shift lever must be in NEUTRAL.

W H AT TO D O I N E M E R G E N C I E S FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE • If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand or snow, it can often be moved by a rocking motion. Turn your steering wheel right and left to clear the area around the front wheels. Then move the shift lever back and forth between REVERSE and DRIVE. Using minimal accelerator pedal pressure to maintain the rocking motion, without spinning the wheels, is most effective.
W H AT TO D O I N E M E R G E N C I E S EVENT DATA RECORDER (EDR) • This vehicle is equipped with an Event Data Recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.
M A I N TA I N I N G YO U R V E H I C L E OPENING THE HOOD • Pull the release lever located below the instrument panel and in front of the driver’s door. • Raise the hood and locate the safety latch, in the middle of the hood opening. • Move the safety latch while lifting the hood at the same time. • Insert the support rod into the slot on the hood. • To close the hood, remove the support rod and place it in the retaining clip, then lower the hood slowly.
