personal injury, do not put

anypart of your bodyunder the
vehicle while changing a tire. Do

until the wheel is completelyoff the
ground and high enough to install
the spare tire.

replace the flat tire with the spare
tire, making sure the valve stem is facing outward for all front tires and
vehicles equipped with single rear wheels. If replacing an inboard rear
tire on a dual rear wheel vehicle, the valve stem must be facing outward.
If replacing the outboard wheel, the valve stem must be facing inward.
Reinstall the lug nuts until the wheel is snug against the hub. Do not
fullytighten the lug nuts until the wheel has been lowered.
