4) Insert the jack handle and the wheel

wrench into the jack.

5) Raise the vehicle by turning the jack

handle clockwise. Raise the vehicle far
enough off the ground so there is
enough room for the compact spare tire
to fit underneath the wheel well.

6) Remove all of the wheel nuts by turning

them counterclockwise.

7) Remove the flat tire.

8) Remove any rust or dirt from the wheel

bolts, mounting surfaces and spare
wheel.

9) Place the compact spare tire on the

wheel-mounting surface.

10)Reinstall the wheel nuts with the

rounded end of the nuts toward the
wheel. Tighten each wheel nut by turn-
ing it clockwise with your hand until the
wheel is held against the hub.

11)Lower the vehicle by turning the wheel

handle counterclockwise. Lower the
jack completely.

12)Tighten the wheel nuts firmly in a criss-

cross sequence as shown.

WARNING

Raising your vehicle with the jack
improperly positioned can damage
the vehicle and even make the vehi-
cle fall. To help avoid personal injury
and vehicle damage, be sure to fit the
jack lift head into the proper location
before raising the vehicle.

WARNING

Rust or dirt on the wheel, or on the
parts to which it is fastened, can
make the wheel nuts become loose
after a time. The wheel could come
off and cause an accident. When you
change a wheel, remove any rust or
dirt from the places where the wheel
attaches to the vehicle. In an emer-
gency, you can use a cloth or a paper
towel to do this, but be sure to use a
scraper or wire brush later, if you
need to, to get all the rust or dirt off.

WARNING

Never use oil or grease on studs or
nuts. If you do, the nuts might come
loose. Your wheel could fall off, caus-
ing a serious accident.
