3. For the front axle, place the jack on the

body flange just behind the front tire as
indicated by the triangular lift point sym-
bol on the sill molding. Do not raise the
vehicle until you are sure the jack is fully
engaged.

4. For a rear tire, place the jack in the slot on

the rear tie-down bracket, just forward of
the rear tire (as indicated by the triangu-
lar lift point symbol on the sill molding).
Do not raise the vehicle until you are
sure the jack is fully engaged.

5. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack

screw clockwise. Raise the vehicle just
enough to remove the flat tire.

6. Remove the lug nuts and wheel.

7. Install the temporary spare wheel/tire and

lightly tighten the lug nuts prior to lowering
to prevent the vehicle from moving on the
jack.

8. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw

counterclockwise, and remove the jack.

9. Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down

on the wrench while at the end of the
handle for increased leverage. Tighten
the lug nuts in a star pattern until each
nut has been tightened twice. The correct
wheel nut tightness is 130 ft lbs (176 N·m). If in doubt about the correct tightness, have
them checked with a torque wrench by your authorized dealer or at a service station.
