7. Place the jack at the front or rear

jacking position closest to the tire
you are changing. Place the jack
at the designated locations under
the frame. The jacking positions
are plates welded to the frame
with two tabs and a raised dot to
index with the jack.

8. Insert the jack handle into the jack

and turn it clockwise, raising the
vehicle until the tire just clears the
ground. This measurement is
approximately 30 mm (1.2 in).
Before removing the wheel lug
nuts, make sure the vehicle is sta-
ble and that there is no chance for
movement or slippage.

9. Remove the wheel lug nuts by

turning them counterclockwise,
then remove the wheel.

10. Mount the spare tire into position

and install the wheel lug nuts
with the beveled edge inward.

11. Once the wheel lug nuts have

been tightened, lower the vehicle
fully to the ground and continue to
tighten the lug nuts until they are
fully secured. Tighten the wheel
lug nuts firmly in a “star” pattern.

If you are unsure of the tightness
of the wheel lug nuts, have them
checked at the nearest service
station. The specified tightening
torque is 9~11 kg•m (65-79 lb•ft,
88-107 N•m). Improperly tight-
ened wheel lug nuts could cause
brake pedal vibration while brak-
ing.

WARNING

- Jack location

To reduce the possibility of
injury, be sure to use only the
jack provided with the vehicle
and in the correct jack position;
never use any other part of the
vehicle for jack support.
