WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY

3. Loosen Wheel Nuts
The wheel nuts should be loosened
slightly before raising the car. To loosen
the nuts, turn the wheel nut wrench
handle counterclockwise. When doing
this, be sure that the socket is seated
completely over the nut so it cannot
slip off. For maximum leverage, posi-
tion the wrench so the handle is to the
right. Then, while holding the wrench
near the end of the handle, pull up on it
with steady pressure. Do not remove
the nuts at this time. Just loosen them
about one-half turn.

4. Put the Jack in Place
The base of the jack should be placed
on firm, level ground. The jack should
be positioned as shown in the drawing.

5. Raising the Car
After inserting a wrench bar into the
wheel nut wrench, install the wrench
bar into the jack as shown in the draw-
ing. To raise the vehicle, turn the wheel
nut wrench clockwise. As the jack be-
gins to raise the vehicle, double check
that it is properly positioned and will
not slip. If the jack is on soft ground or
sand, place a board, brick, flat stone or
other object under the base of the jack
to keep it from sinking.
Raise the car high enough so that the
fully inflated spare tire can be installed.
To do this, you will need more ground
clearance than is required to remove
the flat tire.
