D060D01A-AAT3. Loosen Wheel Nuts
The wheel nuts should be loosened
slightly before raising the car. To loosen
the nuts, turn the wrench handle coun-
terclockwise. When doing this, be sure
that the socket is seated completely
over the nut so it cannot slip off. For
maximum leverage, position the wrench
so the handle is to the left as shown in
the drawing. Then, while holding the
wrench near the end of the handle, push
down on it with steady pressure. Do not
remove the nuts at this time. Just
loosen them about one-half turn.

fully inflated spare tire can be installed.
To do this, you will need more ground
clearance than is required to remove
the flat tire.

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 vehicle
while the jack is being used.

CAUTION:
If the car is being towed with all four
wheels on the ground, it can be towed
only from the front. Be sure that the
transaxle is in neutral. If your vehicle is
equipped with an automatic transaxle,
do not tow at speeds greater than 30 mph
(50 km/h) and for more than 15 miles (25
km).
Be sure the steering is unlocked by plac-
ing the key in the "ACC" position. A
driver must be in the towed vehicle to
operate the steering and brakes. (3)Attach a tow cable, chain or strap to the
towing hook on the rear bumper.
NOTE:o To avoid serious damage to your AWD
vehicle, limit the towing to 10 mph (15
km/h) and not for more than 1 mile (1.5
km) at ANY TIME.
o Before towing, check the level of the
automatic transaxle fluid. If it is below
the 75°C range on the dipstick, add
fluid. If you cannot add fluid, a towing
dolly must be used.
CAUTION:
If the Engine is not running, the power
assist for the brakes and steering will
not work so steering and braking will be
much harder than usual.
!
This could result in serious damage to your
car. Nor should towing be attempted if the
wheels, drive train, axles, steering or
brakes are damaged. Before towing, be
sure the transaxle is in neutral and the key
is in "ACC" (with the engine off) or in the
"ON" position (with the engine running). A
driver must be in the towed car to steer it
and operate the brakes.
CAUTION
It should be tightened firmly with your
fingers until there is no more play in the
towing hole. Towing hook is located in the
luggage compartment.
!
When using the rear towing hook
(1)To open the towing cover push it with
your finger.
(2)To mount the towing hook, rotate it clock-
wise.
