6. For models with alloy wheels,

remove the center cap.

7. Loosen the four lug nuts

counterclockwise one turn each, but
do not remove any nut until the tire
has been raised off the ground.

8. Place the jack at the front or rear

jacking position closest to the tire
you are changing. Place the jack
under the side sill at the designated
location.

turn it clockwise, raising the vehicle
until the tire just clears the ground,

Before removing the lug nuts, make
sure the vehicle is stable and that there
is no chance for it to slip or move.

WARNING - Changing a

Front Tire

When one front wheel is lifted
off the ground, neither the
automatic transaxle P (Park)
position nor the manual
transaxle R (Reverse) position
will prevent the vehicle from
moving and possibly slipping
off the jack, even if these
positions are properly engaged.
To prevent vehicle movements
while changing a tire, always set
the parking brake fully, and
always block the wheel
diagonally opposite the wheel
being changed.

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.
