Changing a wheel
On sedans the spare wheel, jack and toolbag are located in the trunk, beneath the carpet. The jack must
be completely retracted to fit into the holder.
On wagons, the spare tire and the jack are located beneath the floor mat in the large storage bin. Always
secure the spare tire and the jack to prevent them from rattling.
●
Remove the wheel cap, using the screwdriver in the tool kit.
●
With the car still on the ground, use the box wrench from the tool kit to loosen the wheel nuts 1/2 - 1
turn. Turn the nuts counterclockwise to loosen.
NOTE:
To avoid excessive wear and the necessity of rebalancing, mark and reinstall wheels in same location
and position as before removal. To lessen the chance of imbalance, each wheel hub is equipped with a
guide stud to ensure that a removed wheel can be reinstalled in its original position (as when changing
over to winter tires/wheels).
