the jack.

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 as shown in the drawing. 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.
Take out the jack case and tool bag,
then remove the spare tire from the
luggage room.
NOTE:
The jack case is located on the
spare tire in the vehicle.
Hang the luggage room mat to the mat
hanger and remove the luggage under
tray (If installed)
