VEHICLE CARE
Removing the Flat Tire and
Installing the Spare Tire
1. Do a safety check before
proceeding. See If a Tire Goes Flat
0 403 for more information.
2. If the vehicle has a center cap that
covers the wheel fasteners, place
the chisel end of the wheel wrench
in the slot on the wheel and gently
pry the cap out.
If the wheel has a bolt-on hub cap,
loosen the plastic nut caps by
turning the wheel wrench
counterclockwise. The plastic nut
caps will be retained in the hub cap
after it is removed from the wheel.
3. Use the wheel wrench to loosen all
the wheel nuts. Turn the wheel
wrench counterclockwise to loosen
the wheel nuts. Do not remove the
wheel nuts yet.
Warning
To avoid personal injury and
vehicle damage, disable the power
assist steps before using a jack or
placing an object under the vehicle.
See Power Assist Steps 0 27.

Only raise the vehicle from the
jacking locations shown. Raising
the vehicle from the rear could
damage the frame or other
components. The damage may not
be covered by the vehicle warranty.
Vehicle Jacking Locations

shown, at the jacking location
nearest the flat tire. The jack must
not be used in any other position.
