For jacking at the vehicle’s rear location, put the
jack lift head (B) about 9 inches (23 cm) from
the front edge of the rear wheel opening (C).
Line up the jack with the arrow (A) as shown.

Put the compact spare tire near you.

3. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack handle

clockwise. Raise the vehicle far enough off the
ground for the spare tire to fit underneath the wheel
well. Remove all wheel nuts and take off the flat tire.

4. Remove any rust or dirt

from the wheel bolts,
mounting surfaces
and spare wheel.

{

CAUTION:

Rust or dirt on the wheel, or on the parts to
which it is fastened, can make the wheel nuts
become loose after a time. The wheel could
come off and cause an accident. When you
change a wheel, remove any rust or dirt from
the places where the wheel attaches to the
vehicle. In an emergency, you can use a cloth
or a paper towel to do this; but be sure to use
a scraper or wire brush later, if you need to, to
get all the rust or dirt off.
