6. Raise the jack lift head until it is firmly
contacting the lifting point. When
properly positioned, the pin on the jack
lift head fits inside the hole of the lifting
point.
Caution
Make sure that the jack lift head is in the
correct position or you may damage your
vehicle. The repairs would not be covered
by your warranty.
7. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack
handle clockwise. Raise the vehicle far
enough off the ground so there is
enough room for the road tire to clear
the ground.
8. Remove all of the wheel nuts.
9. Remove the tire.
Warning
Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on the
parts to which it is fastened, can
cause wheel nuts to become loose
over time. The wheel could come off
and cause a crash. When changing a
wheel, remove any rust or dirt from
places where the wheel attaches to
the vehicle. In an emergency, a cloth
or paper towel can be used; however,
use a scraper or wire brush later to
remove all rust or dirt.
Vehicle Care
10. Remove any rust or dirt from the wheel
bolts, mounting surfaces, and spare
wheel.
11. Place the spare tire on the
wheel-mounting surface.
Warning
Never use oil or grease on bolts or nuts
because the nuts might come loose. The
vehicle's wheel could fall off, causing a
crash.
12. Reinstall the wheel nuts. Tighten each
nut by hand until the wheel is held
against the hub.
