Removing the Flat Tire and
Installing the Spare Tire

Take off the wheel cover or center
cap, if the vehicle has one, to reach
the wheel bolts.

1. Do a safety check before

proceeding. See If a Tire Goes
Flat on page 10‑79
for more
information.

2. Turn the wheel wrench

counterclockwise to loosen
and remove the wheel nut caps.

Do not try to remove plastic caps
from the cover or center cap.

3. Pull the cover or center cap

away from the wheel. Store
the wheel cover in the cargo
area until you have the flat tire
repaired or replaced.

4. Turn the wheel wrench

counterclockwise to loosen
all the wheel nuts, but do not
remove them yet.

5. Place the jack near the flat tire.

Notice: Make sure that the jack
lift head is in the correct position
or you may damage your vehicle.
The repairs would not be covered
by your warranty.

6. Position the jack lift head at the

jack location nearest the flat tire.

The jacking location is indicated
by a V-shaped notch in the
plastic molding. The jack
must not be used in any other
position.
