pg. 87 Tire changing



Changing a tire

Engage the parking brake.

Put the gear selector in (P)ark.

Get all the passengers to move to a safe place outside the car.

Close all doors.

Block the wheels remaining on the ground with wooden blocks, stones or something similar.

With the car still on the ground, use the lug wrench to loosen the wheel lugs 1/2 - 1 turn. Position the

lug wrench so that you apply force in a downward direction. Never lift up on the lug wrench to loosen or
tighten lugs.

Turn the bolts counterclockwise to loosen. If necessary, press down on the lug wrench with your foot

to loosen the lugs.

CAUTION:

The car must not be driven with wheels of different dimensions or with a spare tire other than the one

that came with the car. The use of different size wheels can seriously damage your car's transmission.
