The following steps will tell you how to use
the jack to change a tire.

Removing the Spare Tire and Tools

A. Jack
B. Wrench
C. Jack Handle
D. Screwdriver

The compartment spare tire and tools
you’ll need are located in the trunk.

1) Remove the trim cover from the floor of

the cargo area by pulling up on the tab.

2) Remove the foam tray that contains the

tools.

3) Turn the retainer on the compact spare

tire counterclockwise and remove the
retainer.

WARNING

Changing a tire can cause an injury.
The vehicle can slip off the jack and
roll over you or other people. You and
they could be severely injured. Find a
level place to change your tire. To
help prevent the vehicle from mov-
ing:
1) Set the parking brake firmly.
2) Put an automatic transmission

shift lever in PARK (P), or shift a
manual transmission to FIRST (1)
or REVERSE (R).

3) Turn off the engine and do not

restart while the vehicle is raised.

4) Do not allow passengers to

remain in the vehicle.

To be even more certain the vehicle
won’t move, you should put blocks at
the front and rear of the tire farthest
away from the one being changed.
That would be the tire on the other
side, at the opposite end of the vehi-
cle.

WARNING

Only use the jack for lifting this car
during an emergency tire change.
