What to do in an emergency
OKA4061039L
7. Place the jack at the front (1) or rear
(2) jacking position closest to the tyre
you are changing. Place the jack at
the designated locations under the
frame. The jacking positions are
plates welded to the frame with two
tabs and a raised dot to index with the
jack.
WARNING
Jack location
To reduce the possibility of injury, be
sure to use only the jack provided with
the vehicle and in the correct jack posi-
tion; never use any other part of the
vehicle for jack support.
8. Insert the jack handle into the jack
and turn it clockwise, raising the vehi-
cle until the tyre just clears the
ground. This measurement is approxi-
mately 30 mm (1.2 in). Before remov-
ing the wheel lug nuts, make sure the
vehicle is stable and that there is no
chance for movement or slippage.

9. Loosen the wheel nuts and remove
them with your fingers. Slide the
wheel off the studs and lay it flat so it
cannot roll away. To put the wheel on
the hub, pick up the spare tyre, line up
the holes with the studs and slide the
wheel onto them.
If this is difficult, tip the wheel slightly
and get the top hole in the wheel lined
up with the top stud. Then jiggle the
wheel back and forth until the wheel
can be slid over the other studs.
WARNING
Wheels may have sharp edges. Handle
them carefully to avoid possible severe
injury. Before putting the wheel into
place, be sure that there is nothing on
the hub or wheel (such as mud, tar,
gravel, etc.) that interferes with the
wheel from fitting solidly against the
hub.
If there is, remove it. If there is not good
contact on the mounting surface
between the wheel and hub, the wheel
nuts could come loose and cause the
loss of a wheel. Loss of a wheel may
result in loss of control of the vehicle.
This may cause serious injury or death.
