ciency and electrical charging per- formance, do not use fifth gear (manual transaxle).
5. Always secure items in the trailer to prevent load shift while driving.
6. Check the condition and air pres-
sure of all tires on the trailer and your car. Low tire pressure can seriously affect the handling. Alsocheck the spare tire.

HXGS413
The wheel nuts should be loosened slightly before raising the car. To loosenthe nuts, turn the wrench handle coun-terclockwise. When doing this, be sure that the socket is seated completely over the nut so it cannot slip off. Formaximum leverage, position thewrench so the handle is to the right asshown in the drawing.

To raise the vehicle, turn the wheel nut wrench clockwise. As the jack be- gins to raise the vehicle, double checkthat it is properly positioned and willnot slip. If the jack is on soft ground orsand, place a board, brick, flat stone orother object under the base of the jack to keep it from sinking. Raise the car high enough so that thefully inflated spare tire can be installed.To do this, you will need more groundclearance than is required to removethe flat tire.
