Jacking up and removing tire
Carefully read the caution label attached
to the jack body and the following in-
structions.
1. Place the jack directly under the jack-up
point as illustrated above so the top of
the jack contacts the vehicle at the
jack-up point. Align the center of both the
jack head and the notch at the jack-up
point as shown. Also fit the notched
portion of the vehicle in the groove of the
jack head as shown.
The jack should be used on level, firm
ground.2. Loosen each wheel nut one or two turns
by turning counterclockwise with the lug
wrench.Do not remove the wheel nuts
until the tire is off the ground.
3. Carefully raise the vehicle until the tire
clears the ground. To lift the vehicle,
securely hold the jack lever and rod with
both hands as shown above. Remove
the wheel nuts, and then remove the tire.
WARNING
cNever get under the vehicle while it
is supported only by the jack.
cUse the jack provided with your ve-
hicle. Do not use the jack provided
with your vehicle on other vehicles.
The jack is designed only for lifting
your vehicle during a tire change.
cUse the correct jack-up points; never
use any other part of the vehicle for
jack support.

hicle has been run for 600 miles (1,000
km) after installing the aluminum
wheel.
5. Securely store the jacking equipment in

the jack.
Stowing the spare tire or flat tire
1. To raise the tire to the stowed position,
install the retainer through the wheel
center and turn the wheel lug wrench
clockwise until the tire is raised to its
original position underneath the vehicle.
The spare tire hex nut ratchets when
the tire is raised. It won't allow you to
over-tighten.
2. Check for proper seating against under-body supports. If necessary, loosen tire,
reposition and retighten.
WARNING
cAlways make sure that the spare tire
and jacking equipment are properly
secured after use. Such items can
become dangerous projectiles in an
accident or sudden stop.
cThe T-type spare tire is designed for
emergency use. See specific instruc-
tions under the heading ``Wheels
and tires'' in the ``Do-it-yourself op-
erations'' section.
