Changing a Flat Tire
9. Locate the jacking point nearest the tire you need to change. It is
pointed to by an arrow molded into
the underside of the body. Place
the jack under the jacking point.
Turn the end bracket clockwise until the top of the jack contacts
the jacking point. Make sure the
jacking point tab is resting in the
jack notch. 10. Use the extension and wheel
wrench as shown to raise the
vehicle until the flat tire is off the
ground.
DX and LX models:
Do not attempt to forcibly pry the
wheel cover off with a screwdriver or other tool. The wheel cover
cannot be removed without first
removing the wheel nuts. 11. Remove the wheel nuts and flat
tire. Temporarily place the flat tireon the ground with the outsidesurface of the wheel facing up.
Placing the wheel face down could mar its finish.
