handle clockwise
to raise the jack head a few inches.
5. Using the wheel wrench, remove the plastic cap nuts.
If your vehicle has aluminum wheels,
you may have
to remove a cover plate to access the wheel nuts. Use
the flat end
of the wheel wrench to remove the cover
plate.
Loosen all the wheel nuts. Don’t remove the
wheel nuts yet.
6. Near each wheel well is a notch in the frame which
the jack head fits in. The front notch
is 9 inches
(23 cm) back from the front wheel well. The rear
notch
is 8 inches (20 cm) forward from the rear
wheel well. If your vehicle has flared side moldings,
both front and rear notches are 18 inches
(46 cm)
from the wheel wells.
Position the jack under the vehicle. Raise the jack
head
until it fits firmly into the notch in the vehicle’s
frame nearest the flat tire. Put the compact spare tire
near
you.

mounting surfaces and spare wheel. Place the spare
on the wheel mounting surface.

nuts with the

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine ~ Don’t try

~ tire, It won’t fit. Store the wheel cover and plastic cap ! nuts in the trunk or rear area until you have the flat tire

you try to put a wheel cover on your compact
spare, you could damage the cover or the spare.

compartment, and secure with the wing bolt and
extension (if required). Store the jack and wheel

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine I NOTICE:
Compact Spare Tire
Although the compact spare was fully inflated when
your vehicle was new, it can lose air after a time. Check
the inflation pressure regularly. It should be
60 psi
(420 Pa). After installing the compact spare on your
vehicle, you should stop
as soon as possible and make
sure your spare tire is correctly inflated. The compact
spare
is made to perform well at posted speed limits for
distances up
to 3,000 miles (5 000 km), so you can
finish your trip and have your full-size tire repaired or
replaced where you want. Of course,
it’s best to replace
your spare with a full-size tire as soon as you can. Your
spare will last longer and be in good shape in case you
need
it again.
Don’t take your compact spare through an
automatic car wash with guide rails. The
compact spare can get caught on the rails. That
can damage the tire and wheel, and maybe other
parts
of your vehicle.
Don’t use your compact spare on some other vehicle.
And don’t mix your compact spare or wheel with other
wheels or tires. They won’t fit. Keep your spare and its
wheel together.
NOTICE:
Tire chains won’t fit your compact spare. Using
them will damage your vehicle and destroy the
chains too. Don’t use tire chains on your compact
spare.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Tire Inspection and Rotation
Tires should be inspected every 6,000 to 8,000 miles
(10 000 to 13 000 km) for any signs of unusual wear. If
unusual wear is present, rotate your tires as soon
as
possible and check wheel alignment. Also check for
damaged tires or wheels. See “When It’s Time for New
Tires” and “Wheel Replacement” later in this section for
more information.
The purpose of regular rotation is to achieve more
uniform wear for all tires on the vehicle. The first
rotation is the most important. See “Scheduled
Maintenance Services” in the Index for scheduled
rotation intervals. When
rotating your tires, always use the correct rotation
pattern shown here.
Don’t include the compact spare tire in your tire
rotation.
After the tires have been rotated, adjust the front and
rear inflation pressures as shown on the Tire-Loading
Information label. Make certain that all wheel nuts are
properly tightened. See “Wheel Nut Torque” in the
Index.
