Removing the spare tire and jack

1. Remove the carpeted wheel cover

2. Remove the wing nut/bolt
assembly that secures the spare tire
and jack by turning it
counterclockwise.

3. Remove the lug wrench and jack
from the foam holder.

Tire Change Procedure

WARNING: When one of the front wheels is off the ground, the
transmission alone will not prevent the vehicle from moving or

slipping off the jack, even if the vehicle is in P (Park) (automatic
transmission) or R (Reverse) (manual transmission).

WARNING: To help prevent the vehicle from moving when you
change a tire, be sure the parking brake is set, then block (in

both directions) the wheel that is diagonally opposite (other side and
end of the vehicle) to the tire being changed.

WARNING: If the vehicle slips off the jack, you or someone else
could be seriously injured.
