compartment, do the following:
1. Open the trunk. See Trunk (Sedan) on page 2-15
for more information.
2. Remove the bolt extension (in the yellow sleeve)
from the jack and remove the center cap from
the wheel.
3. Place the jack over the bolt (B) on the floor, making
sure it contacts the bolt as shown.
4. With the yellow cap in place to prevent the wheel
from being scratched, place the bolt extension (A)
onto the bolt (B).
5. Thread the small wing nut (C) until it is at or near
the end of the threads.
6. Reach under the wheel and lift the bolt
extension (A) so that the threaded end of the bolt
passes through the center hole of the wheel.
