Changing a wheel
The spare wheel is located under the carpet on the trunk floor. The jack and crank are secured in the wheel recess.
• Engage the parking brake.
• Put the gear selector in (P)ark (automatic) or in Reverse (manual).
• Remove the wheel cap (where applicable) using the lug wrench in the tool kit.
• With the car still on the ground, use the lug wrench to loosen the wheel bolts 1/2 - 1 turn. Turn the bolts counterclockwise to loosen.
• Fold out the crank handle on the jack by pressing the nob on the handle downward. To attach the jack, refer to the illustration on the following page.
NOTE: To avoid excessive wear and the necessity of rebalancing, mark and reinstall wheels in same location and position as before removal. To lessen the chance of imbalance, each wheel hub is equipped with a guide
stud to ensure that a removed wheel can be reinstalled in its original position (as when changing over to winter tires/wheels).
CAUTION:
• The car must not be driven with wheels of different dimensions or with a spare tire other than the one that came with the car. The use of different size wheels can seriously damage your car's transmission.
• Correct tightening torque on wheel bolts must be observed. The wheel bolts must be observed. The wheel bolts should never be greased or lubricated. The extended, chromed wheel bolts must not be used with steel
rims, as they make it impossible to fit the hub caps.
Attaching the jack
There is a jack attachment located in the center on each side of the car. Position the jack on the bar in the attachment as shown in illustration A above and crank while simultaneously guiding the base of the jack to the
ground. The base of the jack must be flat on a level, firm, non-slippery surface. Before raising the car check that the jack is still correctly positioned in the attachment . Raise the vehicle until both wheels on the side of
the car where the jack is attached are lifted off the ground. Unscrew the wheel bolts completely and carefully remove the wheel so as not to damage the thread on the studs.
