Stowing the spare tire
To raise the tire to the stowed position, lay the tire on the
1.
ground with the inboard side facing up. Install the retainer
through the wheel center and slide the tire under the vehicle.
Fit the hex-shaped end of the wheel lug wrench over the hex
nut in the floor of the cargo area. Turn the wheel lug
wrench clockwise until the tire is raised to its original
position underneath the vehicle.
NOTE: The lug wrench ratchets when the tire is raised to the
stowed position. It will not allow you to over-tighten.
Check for proper seating against the underbody supports
2.
and retighten if necessary.
Make sure spare tires and jacking equipment are stowed
and secured in the proper storage location.
Preparing to Change the Tire
You should only raise your vehicle with a jack properly placed
at the front or rear jacking points.
Make sure that your vehicle will not move or roll. Put the
1.
gearshift lever in P (Park). Set the parking brake and block
the wheel — in both directions — that is diagonally opposite
the tire that you are changing.
When one of the front wheels is off the ground, the
transaxle alone will not prevent the vehicle from moving
or slipping off the jack, even if the vehicle is in P (Park).
