Jacking the vehicle
1. Block the diagonally opposite
wheel.
2. Remove the wheel cover (if equipped) with the lug wrench tip and
loosen each wheel lug nut one-half turn counterclockwise, but do not
remove them until the wheel is raised off the ground.
3. The vehicle jacking points are
shown here, and are depicted on the
warning label on the jack.
Note: Jack at the specific locations
to avoid damage to the vehicle.
4. Put the jack in the jack notch next to the
tire you are changing. Turn the jack handle
clockwise until the wheel is completely off
the ground.
5. Remove the lug nuts with the lug
wrench.
6. Replace the flat tire with the spare tire, making sure the valve stem is
facing outward. Reinstall the lug nuts until the wheel is snug against the
hub. Do not fully tighten the lug nuts until the wheel has been lowered.
7. Lower the wheel by turning the jack handle counterclockwise.
8. Remove the jack and fully tighten the lug
nuts in the order shown. See Wheel Lug
Nut Torque Specifications later in this
chapter for the proper lug nut torque
specification.
9. Install the wheel cover.
