3. Place the wrench handle and lug bolt adapter on the jack screw and turn to the
right until the jack head is properly engaged in the described location. Do not raise
the vehicle until you are sure the jack is securely engaged.
4. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack screw to the right, using the wrench handle
and lug bolt adapter. Raise the vehicle only until the tire just clears the surface
and enough clearance is obtained to install the spare tire. Minimum tire lift
provides maximum stability.
Raising the vehicle higher than necessary can make the vehicle less stable. It
could slip off the jack and hurt someone near it. Raise the vehicle only enough to
remove the tire.
5. Remove the wheel lug bolts. For vehicles with wheel covers, remove the cover
from the wheel by hand. Do not pry the wheel cover off. Then pull the wheel off the
hub.
6. Install the spare tire. Lightly tighten the wheel lug bolts.
To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the jack, do not tighten the wheel nuts
fully until the vehicle has been lowered. Failure to follow this warning may result
in personal injury.
Be sure to mount the spare tire with the valve stem facing outward. The vehicle
could be damaged if the spare tire is mounted incorrectly.
