NOTE
 The flat tire with a normal size wheel cannot
be stored beneath the floor board. Store the
flat tire in the cargo area.
To change a tire
1. On vehicles with wheel covers, first
remove the covers (refer to "Wheel cov-
ers" on page 8-16). Then, loosen the
wheel nuts with the wheel nut wrench. Do
not remove the wheel nuts yet.
2. Place the jack under one of the jacking
points (A) shown in the illustration. Use
the jacking point closest to the tire you
wish to change.

WARNING
 Set the jack only at the positions shown
here. If the jack is set at a wrong position,
it could dent your vehicle or the jack
might fall over and cause personal injury.

How to change a tire (Vehicles equipped with spare tire)
WARNING
 Do not use the jack on a tilted or soft sur-
face.
Otherwise, the jack might slip and cause
personal injury. Always use the jack on a
flat, hard surface. Before setting the jack,
make sure there are no sand or pebbles
under the jack base.
NOTE
 Put the spare wheel under the vehicle body
near the jack. This makes it safer if the jack
slips out of position.
3. Rotate the jack by hand until the flange
portion (B) fits in the groove (C) at the top
of the jack.
