Follow the safety precautions on
pages 116 and 117.<
1. Secure the vehicle to prevent it from roll-
ing:
Place the folding chock behind the front
wheel on the other side of the vehicle;
on downward inclines, place it in front of
this wheel.
If the wheel is changed on a surface with
a more severe slope, take additional pre-
cautions to secure the vehicle from roll-
ing
2. Loosen the lug bolts by a half turn.
Jacking up the vehicle

to the wheel.
The jack base must be perpendicular to
the surface beneath the jacking point
The vehicle jack is designed for
changing wheels only. Do not
attempt to raise another vehicle model
with it or to raise any load of any kind. To
do so could cause accidents and personal
injury.<

the square recess of the jacking point
3. Jack the vehicle up until the wheel you
are changing is raised from the ground.
