Removing A Tire
Warning!
Carefully follow these tire changing
warnings to help prevent personal injury or
damage to your vehicle:
Always park on a firm, level surface as
far from the edge of the roadway as
possible before raising the vehicle.
Turn on the Hazard Warning flasher.
Block the wheel diagonally opposite the
wheel to be raised.
Set the parking brake firmly and set the
transmission in PARK.
Do not let any passenger sit in the
vehicle when it is on a jack.
Do not get under the vehicle when it is
on a jack. If you need to get under a raised
vehicle, take it to a service center where it
can be raised on a lift.
Only use the jack in the positions
indicated and for lifting this vehicle during a
tire change.
If working on or near a roadway, be
extremely careful of motor traffic.
Proceed as follows:
1. Loosen the lug nuts by turning them
counterclockwise one turn each, but do
not remove any lug nuts until the tire
has been raised off the ground.
2. Place the jack under the lift point
closest to the tire being changed with
the jack head squarely under the
jacking location.
3. Turn the jack screw in the direction
shown and adjust the jack head so that
it is close to the jacking location.
4. Continue raising the jack head
gradually by rotating the screw with
your hand until the jack head is inserted
into the lift point.
Caution!
Do not attempt to raise the vehicle by
jacking on locations other than those
indicated in the Jacking Instructions for this
vehicle.
