6. After making sure no one is in the vehicle, raise it high
enough so that the spare tire can be installed.
Allow for the fact that you need more ground clearance when
putting on the spare tire than when removing the flat tire.
To raise the vehicle, insert the jack handle extension into the
jack (it is a loose fit) and turn it clockwise with the handle,
making sure the handle remains firmly fitted onto the jack
handle extension. As the jack touches the vehicle and begins
to lift, double−check that it is properly positioned.
CAUTION
Never get under the vehicle when the vehicle is
supported by the jack alone.

7. Remove the wheel nuts and remove the flat tire.
Lift the flat tire straight off and put it aside.
Roll the spare wheel into position and align the holes in the
wheel with the bolts. Then lift up the wheel and get at least the
top bolt started through its hole. Wiggle the tire and press it
back over the other bolts.
