What to do in an emergency
To store the spare tire:
1. Lay the tire on the ground with the
valve stem facing up.
2. Place the wheel under the vehicle
and install the retainer guide and
chain through the wheel center.
3. Turn the wrench clockwise until it
clicks.
Changing Tires
Follow these steps to change your
vehicle's tire:
1. Park on a level, firm surface.
2. Move the shift button into P
(Park), apply the parking brake,
and place the ignition switch in the
OFF position.
3. Press the hazard warning flasher
button.
4. Remove the wheel lug nut
wrench, jack, jack handle, wheel
cap remover (big cap only) and
spare tire from the vehicle.
5. Block both the front and rear of
the tire diagonally opposite of the
tire you are changing.
A vehicle can slip or roll off of a
jack causing serious injury or
death to you or those nearby.
Take the following safety pre-
cautions:
•
Never place any portion of
your body under a vehicle that
is supported by a jack.
•
NEVER attempt to change a
tire in the lane of traffic.
ALWAYS move the vehicle
completely off the road on
level, firm ground away from
traffic before trying to change
a tire. If you cannot find a level,
firm place off the road, call a
towing service for assistance.
•
Be sure to use the jack pro-
vided with the vehicle.
•
ALWAYS place the jack on the
designated jacking positions
on the vehicle and NEVER on
the bumpers or any other part
of the vehicle for jacking sup-
port.
•
Do not start or run the engine
while the vehicle is on the
jack.
•
Do not allow anyone to remain
in the vehicle while it is on the
jack.
•
Keep children away from the
road and the vehicle.
WARNING
Ensure the spare tire retainer
guide is properly aligned with
the center of the spare tire to
prevent the spare tire from "rat-
tling".
Otherwise, it may cause the
spare tire to fall off the carrier
and lead to an accident.
