Jacking And Changing A Tire
1. Remove the spare tire, jack, and lugwrench.
2. If equipped with aluminum wheels where the center cap covers the lug
nuts, use the lug wrench to pry the
center cap off carefully before raising
the vehicle.
3. Before raising the vehicle, use the lug wrench to loosen, but not remove, the
lug nuts on the wheel with the flat
tire. Turn the lug nuts
counterclockwise one turn while the
wheel is still on the ground.
4. Place the jack underneath the lift area that is closest to the flat tire. Turn the jack screw clockwise to firmly engage the jack saddle with the lift area of the sill
flange.
5. Raise the vehicle just enough to remove the flat tire and install the
spare tire.
6. Remove the lug nuts and tire.
7. Mount the spare tire.

NOTE:• For vehicles so equipped, do notattempt to install a center cap or wheel
cover on the compact spare.
• Refer to “Compact Spare Tire” and to “Limited-Use Spare” under
“Tires—General Information” in “Starting
and Operating” in the Owner's Manual on
the DVD for additional warnings,
cautions, and information about the
spare tire, its use, and operation.
8. Install the lug nuts with the cone shaped end of the lug nut toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the lug nuts.
9. Lower the vehicle to the ground by turning the jack handle counterclockwise.
10. Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on the wrench while at the end of the handle for increased leverage. Tighten the lug nuts in a star pattern until each
nut has been tightened twice. The correct tightness of each lug nut is 110 ft/lb.
(150 N·m). If in doubt about the correct tightness, have them checked with a
torque wrench by your authorized dealer or at a service station.
11. Stow the jack, tools and flat tire. Make sure the base of the jack faces the front of the vehicle before tightening down the fastener.

2. Install the remaining lug nuts with the cone shaped end of the nut toward thewheel. Lightly tighten the lug nuts.
3. Lower the vehicle to the ground by turning the jack handle counterclockwise.
4. Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on the wrench while at the end of the handle for increased leverage. Tighten the lug nuts in a star pattern until each nut
has been tightened twice. The correct tightness of each lug nut is 110 ft/lbs
(150 N·m). If in doubt about the correct tightness, have them checked with a
torque wrench by your authorized dealer or service station.
5. After 25 miles (40 km) check the lug nut torque with a torque wrench to ensure that all lug nuts are properly seated against the wheel.
