IN CASE OF EMERGENCY 157
Rear Jacking Location
NOTE:
There are front and rear jacking locations on
each side of the body (as indicated by the trian-
gular lift point symbols on the sill molding.)
4. Place the jack underneath the lift area that
is closest to the flat tire. Turn the jack
screw clockwise to firmly engage the jack
saddle with the lift area of the sill flange,
centering the jack saddle between the
locating notches on the sill flange.
5. Raise the vehicle just enough to remove
the flat tire and install the spare tire.
6. Remove the wheel bolts and tire.
7. Mount the spare tire.
NOTE:
For vehicles so equipped, do not
attempt to install a center cap or wheel
cover on the compact spare.
Refer to “Tires” in “Servicing And Main-
tenance” for additional warnings,
cautions, and information about the
spare tire, its use, and operation.
8. Install the wheel bolts with the threaded
end of the wheel bolt toward the wheel.
Lightly tighten the wheel bolts.
WARNING!
Raising the vehicle higher than necessary
can make the vehicle less stable. It could
slip off the jack and hurt someone near it.
Raise the vehicle only enough to remove the
tire.
CAUTION!
Be sure to mount the spare tire with the
valve stem facing outward. The vehicle could
be damaged if the spare tire is mounted
incorrectly.
WARNING!
To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the
jack, do not tighten the wheel bolts fully until
the vehicle has been lowered. Failure to
follow this warning may result in personal
injury.
To avoid possible personal injury, handle the
wheel covers with care to avoid contact with
any sharp edges.
