WARNING - Changing
tyres
Never attempt vehicle repairs in the traffic lanes of a public road
or highway.
Always move the vehicle com- pletely off the road and onto the
shoulder before trying to change
a tyre. The jack should be used
on level firm ground. If you can-
not find a firm, level place off the
road, call a towing service com-
pany for assistance.
Be sure to use the correct front and rear jacking positions on the
vehicle; never use the bumpers
or any other part of the vehicle
for jack support.

7. Place the jack at the front or rear jack-
ing position closest to the tyre you are
changing. Place the jack at the desig-
nated 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. 8. Insert the jack handle into the jack and
turn it clockwise, raising the vehicle
until the tyre just clears the ground.
This measurement is approximately 30
mm. Before removing the wheel lug
nuts, make sure the vehicle is stable
and that there is no chance for move-
ment or slippage. 9. Loosen the wheel nuts and remove
them with your fingers. Slide the wheel
off the studs and lay it flat so it cannot
roll away. To put the wheel on the hub,
pick up the spare tyre, line up theholes with the studs and slide the
wheel onto them. If this is difficult, tipthe wheel slightly and get the top holein the wheel lined up with the top stud.
Then jiggle the wheel back and forth
until the wheel can be slid over the
other studs.
WARNING - Jack location
To reduce the possibility of injury,
be sure to use only the jack provid-
ed with the vehicle and in the cor-
rect jack position; never use any
other part of the vehicle for jack
support.

WARNING
Wheels and wheel covers may have
sharp edges. Handle them carefully
to avoid possible severe injury.
Before putting the wheel into place,be sure that there is nothing on the
hub or wheel (such as mud, tar,
gravel, etc.) that interferes with the
wheel from fitting solidly againstthe hub.
If there is, remove it. If there is not good contact on the mounting sur-face between the wheel and hub,
the wheel nuts could come loose
and cause the loss of a wheel. Loss
of a wheel may result in loss of con-
trol of the vehicle. This may cause
serious injury or death.
