What to do in an emergency

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.

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 3 cm (1 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. Loosen the wheel nuts and

remove them with your fingers.
Slide the wheel off the studs and
lay it flat so it cannot roll away. To
put the wheel on the hub, pick up
the spare tire, line up the holes
with the studs and slide the wheel
onto them. If this is difficult, tip the
wheel slightly and get the top hole
in the wheel lined up with the top
stud. Then jiggle the wheel back
and forth until the wheel can slide
over the other studs.

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.
