Changing a Flat Tire

Do not attempt to change a tire unless the car is on firm, level

ground and well out of the flow of traffic.

Park the car on a firm, level surface, apply the parking brake, turn

on the hazard warning switch and put the transmission in gear (Park
for automatic).

1. Remove the jack, lug wrench/jack handle and jack handle

extension (in the tool bag) from the location shown.

NOTE:

To remove the jack, release its tension against the mount by turning

the screw counterclockwise.

2. Remove the spare tire.
3. Place blocks in front and back of the wheel diagonally opposite

the tire you are changing.

4. Use the lug wrench/jack handle to loosen the wheel lug nuts

counterclockwise one-half turn.

Follow tire changing preparations and procedures carefully to

reduce the possibility of injury. The jack is designed for changing

tires only. STAND CLEAR, DO NOT get under the car and DO NOT

run the engine when the car is supported only by the jack.

5. Place the jack under the jack point nearest the wheel you are

removing; align the jack head so the car frame will fit in the recess

as you raise the jack.
