Do not raise the vehicle until you are sure the jack is securely engaged .

properly engaged with the lift area closest to the wheel to be changed

hicle by turning the jack screw to the

just clears the surface and enough clear-
ance is obtained to install the spare tire

equipped with aluminum wheels, the
center caps must be removed to re-
move the wheel bolts

nal wheel, properly align the wheel cover to
the valve stem, place the wheel cover onto
the wheel, then install the wheel bolts
