Warning. Changing a wheel can cause injury. The vehicle could slide off the jack and injure you.
Find a level place to change the wheel to prevent the vehicle from moving during the change:
- 1. Set the parking brake
- 2. Place the shift lever in the PARK position (R)
- 3. If the car has four-wheel drive, put the transfer case in NEUTRAL (N)
- 4. Stop the engine
For more confidence, put stones under the front and rear wheels that you will not change.
Removing the spare wheel and tools
The necessary equipment for the two-door and Suburban variants is located in the rear cargo area. There is also a spare wheel.
To remove it, you must first lift the spare wheel cover, unscrew the lock nut counterclockwise, then remove it and the adapter from the bolt. Remove the spare wheel from the vehicle and close the cover.
The jack and tools are also stored at the back in a compartment closed by a lid with the inscription JACK.
The tools you will use include: jack (A), jack handle extension (IN), jack handle (WITH), wheel wrench (D) and ratchet lever (E).
Use the jack handle extension when changing the rear wheel.
One side of the ratchet lever is marked UP and the other side is marked DOWN.
Turn the lever with the UP mark towards you, rotate the lever clockwise, this will raise the head of the jack.
If your vehicle has wrench caps or trim discs, remove them with a wheel wrench and lever.
