WARNING!

Being under a jacked-up vehicle is dangerous. The
vehicle could slip off the jack and fall on you. You
could be crushed. Never get any part of your body
under a vehicle that is on a jack. If you need to get
under a raised vehicle, take it to a service center
where it can be raised on a lift.

3. Place the wrench on the jack screw and turn to the

right until the jack head is properly engaged in the
described location. Do not raise the vehicle until you
are sure the jack is securely engaged.

4. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack screw to the right,

using the swivel wrench. Raise the vehicle only until
the tire just clears the surface and enough clearance is
obtained to install the compact spare tire. Minimum
tire lift provides maximum stability.

WARNING!

Raising the vehicle higher than necessary can make
the vehicle less stable. It could slip off the jack and
hurt someone near it. Raise the vehicle only enough
to remove the tire.

5. Remove the wheel lug nuts, for vehicles with wheel

covers, remove the cover from the wheel by hand. Do not
pry the wheel cover off. Then pull the wheel off the hub.

6. Install the compact spare tire. Lightly tighten the lug

nuts.

CAUTION!

Be sure to mount the compact spare tire with the valve
stem facing outward. The vehicle could be damaged if
the compact spare tire is mounted incorrectly.
