Removing the Flat Tire and Installing
the Spare Tire

1. Do a safety check before proceeding. See

Changing a Flat Tire on page 6‑82 for more
information.

2. For models having aluminum wheels with a center

wheel cover, use the flat end of the wheel wrench
to gently pry the wheel covers off. Store the wheel
cover and lug nut caps in the trunk until you have
the flat tire repaired or replaced. Be careful not to
scratch the aluminum wheel edge and do not try to

remove it with your hands. Then loosen the wheel
nuts with the wheel wrench. Do not remove
them yet.

3. For models with exposed lug nuts, loosen them

using the wheel wrench. Do not remove them yet.
