CAUTION
While checking the tire hanger, carefully
loosen the tire hanger mounting bolt. Loos-
ening it too much could pull out the hook and
cause the compact spare tire to drop.
3. Lift up the section of the tire hanger (B)
that is marked with the arrow in the illus-
tration and remove it from the hook (C).
Then lower it and remove the tire.

CAUTION
When hooking or unhooking the tire hanger,
be sure to hold the tire hanger firmly to pre-
vent it from dropping on your foot.
To change a tire
1. On vehicles with wheel covers, first
remove the covers (refer to "Wheel cov-
ers" on page 8-13). 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.
