Caution
Using a jack to raise the vehicle
without positioning it correctly
could damage your vehicle. When
raising your vehicle on a jack, be
sure to position it correctly under
the frame and avoid contact with
the plastic molding.
7. Raise the vehicle by turning the
wheel wrench clockwise in the
jack. Raise the vehicle far
enough off the ground so there
is enough room for the spare
tire to fit under the wheel well.
8. Remove all of the wheel nuts.
9. Remove the flat tire.
Warning
Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on the
parts to which it is fastened, can
make wheel nuts become loose
after time. The wheel could come
off and cause an accident. When
changing a wheel, remove any
rust or dirt from places where the
wheel attaches to the vehicle. In
an emergency, a cloth or a 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 compact 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.
