Pry off the wheel cap, using the bar as shown in the illustration.
o Alloy Wheel Cap type
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 completelyover the nut so it cannot slip off. For maximum leverage, position the wrench so the handle is to the right asshown in the illustration. Then, while holding the wrench near the end of the handle, pull up on it with steady pres-sure. Do not remove the nuts at this time. Just loosen them about one-half turn.D060E01A-AAT 5.

As the jack begins to raise the vehicle, double check that it is properly posi-tioned and will not slip. Raise the car high enough so that the fully inflated spare tire can be installed.To do this, you will need more ground clearance than is required to remove the flat tire. Using the jack handle, turn the release valve counterclockwise slow to lowerthe ram, and then take out the jack. When the release valve is difficult to turn by jack handle, connect the wheelnut wrench to the jack handle. CAUTION:
1) Use only the jack included with the vehicle and use it only forchanging a wheel and for in- stalling tire chains.
2) Position the jack on a hard, level surface.
3) If the release valve is loosened
by turning it 2 or more times in the counterclockwise direction, the jack's oil will leak and the jack cannot be used. Stop mark
HHP4020 HHP4019
WARNING:
Do not get under the car when it is supported by the jack! This is very dangerous as the vehicle could fall and cause serious injury or death.No one should stay in the car while the jack is being used.
4) This jack is hydraulic, and the
ram is a two stage type. When both rams are raised and the stop mark of the upper ram becomes visible, stop jacking immediately.

!WARNING:
Be very careful not to touch the
radiator hose when checking the engine oil as it may be hot enoughto burn you.
If the oil level is close to or below the "L" mark, add oil until it reaches the "F" mark. To add oil:
1. Remove the oil filler cap by turning
it counterclockwise.
2. Add oil, then check the level again.
Do not overfill.
3. Replace the cap by turning it clock-
wise.
The distance between the "F" and "L" marks is equal to about 1 liter (Gaso- line Engine/Diesel Engine (2.5 TCI))/ 1.4 liters (Diesel Engine (2.9 CRDi))of oil. HHP5003
