the luggage compart
ment cover
Fig . 189 Vehicle tool
kit and jack
- Hang the loop on the underside of the luggage compart
ment cover ~ fig. 188.
Remove the tool kit or the jack.
The onboard tool kit includes:
• Hook for removing wheel covers*
• Plasti c hook to remove wheel bolt covers
• Wheel bolt wrench
• Alignment pin for changing wheels
• Screwdriver with reversible blade
• Towing eye
Before storing the jack, make sure it is wound back down as far as it
will go.
After use, the jack and tools must be put back in place underneath
the floor panel in the luggage compartment.
Note: some of the on-board items listed above are provided on
certain models only or are optional extras.
& WARNING
Improper use of the vehicle jack can cause serious personal inju
ries.
• Using a bumper jack to raise the vehicle will damage the
bumper system. The jack may slip, causing injury.
• Never support your vehicle on cinder blocks, bricks or other
objects. These may not be able to support the load and could
cause injury when they fail.
• Never start or run the engine while the vehicle is supported by
the jack.
• If you must work under the vehicle, always use safety stands
specifically designed for this purpose.
• Never try and use the hexagonal socket
in the handle of the
screwdriver to loosen or tighten the wheel bolts.
What do I do now? -__________________ __;__:....:....:..:: __ _
•
-All passengers should leave the car and move to a safe
location (for instance, behind the guardrail)~& .
- Apply the
parking brake firmly ~& .
- Move
selector lever to position Pon an automatic trans-
miss ion; put manual transmission in
first gear ~& .
-If you are towing a trailer : unhitch the trailer from your
vehicle.
- Take the
tool and the spare tire~ page 270 out of the
luggage compartment.
& WARNING
You or your passengers could be injured while changing a wheel if
you do not follow these safety precautions:
• If you have a flat tire, move a safe distance off the road. Turn off
the engine, turn the emergency flasher on and use other warning
devices to alert other motorists.
• Make sure that passengers wait
in a safe place away from the
vehicle and well away from the roadway and traffic.
• To help prevent the vehicle from moving suddenly and possibly
slipping off the jack, always fully set the parking brake and block
the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel being changed. When one
front wheel is lifted off the ground, placing the automatic trans
mission in "P" (Park), or engaging a gear in a manual transmission
will
not prevent the vehicle from moving.
• Before you change a wheel, be sure the ground is level and firm.
If necessary, use a sturdy board under the jack.
• After installing the spare wheel, make sure that you remount
the flat tire/wheel in its storage area properly and tighten the
knurled retaining screw securely. •

Loosening
Fig . 194 Wheel
change: loosening the
wheel bolts
-Fit the wheel bolt wrench over the wheel bolt and push it
down as far as it will go .
- Close your grip around the
end of the wrench handle for
maximum torque and turn the wheel bolts
counter-clock

about one single turn in the direction of arrow
~ fig. 194.
Tightening
- Fit the wheel bolt wrench over the wheel bolt and push it
down as far as it will go.
- Close your grip around the
end of the wrench handle for
maximum torque and turn each wheel bolt
clockwise
until it sits tight.
& WARNING
• Using force without control to speed the wheel change up can
cause the vehicle to slip off the jack and cause serious personal
injuries.
• Do not loosen the wheel bolts more than one turn before you
raise the vehicle with the jack. -Risk of injury!
[ i ] Tips
• Never try and use the hexagonal socket in the handle of the
screwdriver to loosen or tighten the wheel bolts.
• If a wheel bolt sits very tight, you may find it easier to loosen by
carefully pushing down on the end of the wheel bolt wrench with
one foot only . As you do, hold on to the car to keep yourself stable
and take care not to slip. •
Raising the vehicle
The vehicle must be lifted with the jack first before the

- Then completely unscrew the other wheel bolts as
described above.
Take off the wheel leaving the alignment pin in the bolt
hole.
Putting on the spare
- Lift the spare wheel up and carefully slide it over the
alignment pin to guide it in place.

screw in and tighten all wheel bolts
slightly.
Unscrew the alignment pin and insert and tighten the
remaining wheel bolt slightly like the rest.
- Turn the handle on the jack counter -clockwise to lower
the vehicle until the jack is fully released.
- Use the wheel bolt wrench to tighten all wheel bolts firmly ~
page 276. Tighten them crosswise , from one
bolt to the (approximately) opposite one, to keep the
wheel centered.
[ i ] Tips
Never try and use the hexagonal socket in the handle of the screw
