IF YOU HAVE A FLAT TIRE The spare tire, jack, jack handle,
wheel lug nut wrench and spanner
are stored in the trunk compartment.
Move the carpeting out of the way to
reach this equipment.
The jack assembly is located in the
trunk, under the carpeting, in the
right-hand corner.
Removing the spare tire Turn the tire hold-down wing bolt
counterclockwise.
Store the tire in the reverse order of
removal.
To prevent the spare tire and tools
from “rattling” while the vehicle is in
motion, store them properly.
Changing tires Jacking instructions The jack is provided for emergency
tire changing only.

 Always move the vehicle com- pletely off the road and onto
the shoulder before trying to
change a tire. The jack should
be used on level firm ground
whenever possible. If you can-
not find a firm, level place off
the road, call a towing service
company for assistance.
 Be sure to use the correct front and rear jacking posi-
tions on the vehicle; never use
the bumpers or any other part
of the vehicle for jack support.

use vehicle support stands.

jack.
 Do not allow anyone to remain in the vehicle while it is on the
jack.
 Make sure any children pres- ent are in a secure place away
from the road and from the

8. Loosen the wheel lug nuts coun-terclockwise one turn each, but do
not remove any nut until the tire
has been raised off the ground. 9. Place the jack at the front or rear
jacking position closest to the tire
you are changing. Place the jack
at the designated locations under
the frame. The jacking positions
are plates welded to the frame
with two tabs and a raised dot to
index with the jack. 10. Insert the jack handle into the
jack and turn it clockwise, raising
the vehicle until the tire just
clears the ground. This measure-
ment is approximately 1.2 in (30
mm). Before removing the wheel
lug nuts, make sure the vehicle is
stable and that there is no
chance for movement or slip-
page.
11. Remove the wheel lug nuts by turning them counterclockwise,
then remove the wheel.
12. Mount the spare tire into position and install the wheel lug nuts
with the beveled edge inward.
WARNING
- Jack location
To reduce the possibility of
injury, be sure to use only the
jack provided with the vehicle
and in the correct jack position;
never use any other part of the
vehicle for jack support.

Changing the automatic
transaxle fluid 1. Raise and suitably support thevehicle. 2. Remove the drain plug located at
the bottom of the transaxle pan.
3. After the oil has drained complete- ly, install a new washer on the
plug, reinstall the drain plug, and
tighten to 21~24 lbin (290~340
kgcm, 29~33 Nm).
4. Lower the vehicle.
5. Remove the automatic transaxle dipstick located near the center of
the engine compartment bulkhead
and, using a funnel, add approxi-
mately 2 US quarts (2 liters) of
automatic transaxle fluid.
Use only the specified automatictransaxle fluid. (Refer to"Recommended Lubricants" later inthis section.)
✽ ✽ NOTICEDo NOT overfill the automatic
transaxle reservoir. Doing so can
cause a seal “blow out”, loss of fluid,
and damage to the transaxle. If you
overfill the reservoir, you must drain
the excess prior to driving the vehi-
cle. The transaxle will hold 2.5 US
qt. (2.5 liters) when completely
empty. However, it is likely that
there will be fluid left in the
transaxle after draining, especially if
the front of the vehicle was raised to
remove the drain plug. 6. Check the fluid level. If necessary,
add a small amount of fluid and
check the level again. Continue
this process until the level reads
within “HOT” range.
7. Replace the dipstick and properly dispose of the used transaxle fluid.
WARNING
- Lifting your
vehicle
If you raise your vehicle, always
ensure that it is supported at all
four jacking or lift points for the
vehicle. Only if this level of sup-
port is provided can you ensure
that the vehicle will remain sta-
ble and not fall off the jack
stands or other supports. If you
do not provide such support,
the vehicle may fall off the jack
stands, or other supports, caus-
ing serious injury or death.
