254 Vehicle Care
Removing the Flat Tire and
Installing the Spare Tire
1. Do a safety check before
proceeding. See If a Tire Goes
Flat 0 251 for more information.
2. For vehicles with a wheel cover
or center cap, pull the cover or
center cap away from the
wheel to remove it. Store the
wheel cover in the cargo area
until you have the flat tire
repaired or replaced.
3. Turn the wheel wrench
counterclockwise to loosen all
the wheel nuts, but do not
remove them yet.
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.
4. Position the jack lift head at the
jack location nearest the flat
tire. The location is indicated
by a mark on the bottom edge
of the front and rear door
plastic molding. The jack must
not be used in any other
position.
5. Place the jack notch under the
frame rail seam.
Warning
Getting under a vehicle when it is
lifted on a jack is dangerous.
If the vehicle slips off the jack,
you could be badly injured or
killed. Never get under a vehicle
when it is supported only by
a jack.
Warning
Raising the vehicle with the jack
improperly positioned can
damage the vehicle and even
make the vehicle fall. To help
avoid personal injury and vehicle
damage, be sure to fit the jack lift
head into the proper location
before raising the vehicle.
