Loosen wheel bolts
Changing a wheel
The spare wheel is located under the carpet on
the trunk floor. The jack and crank are secured
in the wheel recess.
•
Engage the parking brake.
•
Put the gear selector in (P)ark (automatic)
or in Reverse (manual).
•
With the car still on the ground, use the lug
wrench to loosen the wheel bolts 1/2 - 1
turn. Turn the bolts counterclockwise to
loosen.
•
Fold out the crank handle on the jack by
pressing the knob on the handle downward.
To attach the jack, refer to the illustration on
the following page.
There is a jack attachment located in the center
on each side of the car. Position the jack on the
bar in the attachment as shown in illustration
above and crank while simultaneously guiding
the base of the jack to the ground. The base of
the jack must be flat on a level, firm, non-
slippery surface. Before raising the car,
check that the jack is still correctly
positioned in the attachment.
WARNING!
The jacks attachment must engage the bar
in the jack attachment (see inset illustration
above). The cars weight must not rest on
the jack attachment.

Raise the vehicle until both wheels on the side
of the car where the jack is attached are lifted
off the ground. Unscrew the wheel bolts
completely and carefully remove the wheel so
as not to damage the thread on the studs.
NOTE: To avoid excessive wear and the
necessity of rebalancing, mark and reinstall
wheels in the same location and position as
before removal. To lessen the chance of
imbalance, each wheel hub is equipped with a
guide stud to ensure that a removed wheel can
be reinstalled in its original position (as when
changing over to winter tires/wheels).
CAUTION: The car must not be driven
with wheels of different dimensions or with
a spare tire other than the one that came
with the car. The use of different size wheels
can seriously damage your car's
transmission.
