can slip off the jack and roll over or fall on you
or other people. You and they could be badly
injured or even killed. Find a level place to
change your tire. To help prevent the vehicle

in PARK (P), or shift a manual transmission
to FIRST (1) or REVERSE (R).

vehicle.

the cover counterclockwise to remove it. For crew
cab models, reach under the rear seat to access the
jack and wheel blocks. To reinstall the jack and
wheel block assembly in the mounting bracket,
insert the tabs into the jack base by pushing the
blocks up into the assembly. The outer hole in
the jack base aligns with the tab on the bracket.
When reinstalling, make sure the jack is secure,
but do not overtighten the jack in the bracket.

be removed by turning the wing nut
counterclockwise.
Put the wheel blocks at the front and rear of the tire
farthest away from the one being changed. That
would be the tire on the other side, at the opposite
end of the vehicle.

bag and tools located under the front passenger’s
seat. To remove it, turn the wing nut

{CAUTION:
Rust or dirt on the wheel, or on the parts to
which it is fastened, can make the wheel nuts
become loose after a time. The wheel could
come off and cause an accident. When you
change a wheel, remove any rust or dirt from
the places where the wheel attaches to the
vehicle. In an emergency, you can use a cloth
or a paper towel to do this; but be sure to use
a scraper or wire brush later, if you need to,
to get all the rust or dirt off.
{CAUTION:
Never use oil or grease on studs or nuts. If you
do, the nuts might come loose. Your wheel
could fall off, causing a serious accident.
8. After mounting the
spare, put the wheel
nuts back on with
the rounded end of
the nuts toward
the wheel. Tighten
each wheel nut
by hand. Then use
the wheel wrench to
tighten the nuts
until the wheel is held
against the hub.
