Getting the spare tire and tools
1. Open the trunk. Lift the trunk floor carpet-
ing and spare tire cover. Remove the tool
bag and the spare tire. Use the tapered
end of the jack rod (found in the tool bag)
to loosen the spare tire hold-down bolt.
2. Push the two release clips on the jack
access door, and pull the door open. To
remove the jack, turn the jack screw
counterclockwise. Use the tapered end
of the jack rod (found in the tool bag) to
loosen the jack from its storage position.
3. When the spare tire is installed on the
vehicle, place the damaged tire in the
storage area. Put the jack rod in the tool
bag and place the tool bag in the storage
area.
4. Place the spare tire cover and the trunk
floor carpeting over the damaged tire.
5. Install the jack in its storage area and
tighten the jack screw.
6. Close the jack access door. Close the
trunk.
Blocking wheels
Place suitable blocks at both the front and
back of the wheel diagonally opposite the
flat tire to prevent the vehicle from rolling
when it is jacked up.
WARNING
Be sure to block the wheel as the ve-
hicle may move and could cause per-
sonal injury.
