9. Locate the jacking point nearest

the tire you need to change. It is
pointed to by an arrow molded into
the underside of the body. Place
the jack under the jacking point.
Turn the end bracket clockwise
until the top of the jack contacts
the jacking point. Make sure the
jacking point tab is resting in the
jack notch.

10. Use the extension and the wheel

nut wrench as shown to raise the
vehicle until the flat tire is off the
ground.

11. Remove the wheel nuts, then

remove the flat tire. Handle the
wheel nuts carefully; they may be
hot from driving. Place the flat tire
on the ground with the outside
surface facing up.
