6. Position the jack according to
the following guides and turn
the jack handle clockwise until
the tire is a maximum of 25 mm
(1 inch) off the ground.
Never use the differentials as a
jacking point. It is too easy for
the vehicle to tilt or fall and you
can be injured.
WARNING: To lessen the risk
of personal injury, do not put
any part of your body under
the vehicle while changing a
tire. Do not start the engine
when your vehicle is on the
jack. The jack is only meant
for changing the tire.
7. Remove the lug nuts with the lug nut wrench.
8. Replace the flat tire with the spare tire, making sure the valve stem
is facing outward. Reinstall lug nuts until the wheel is snug against
the hub. Do not fully tighten the lug nuts until the wheel has been
lowered.
9. Lower the wheel by turning the jack handle counterclockwise.
