D060E01P-AAT 4. Put the Jack in Place
Front
The method for jacking up the vehicle should be remembered in order to change a tire in the event of a puncture and in order to install tire chains. OHR058116
OHR058117D060D01A-AAT 3. Loosen Wheel Nuts Assemble the tools(1)(2)(3) into the wheel lug nut wrench orderly like thepicture. 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. OHR058108D060C01A-AAT 2. Block the Wheel Block the wheel that is diagonally oppo- site from the flat tire to keep the vehiclefrom rolling when the car is raised on the jack.

(8) Press the piston down all the way and turn the release valve clock- wise as far as possible. HHR4018
Stop mark
CAUTION:
o Use only the jack included with the vehicle and use it only for changing a wheel.
o Position the jack on a hard level
surface.
o If the release valve is loosened by turning it 2 or more times inthe counterclockwise direction,the jack’s oil will leak and the jack cannot be used.!
D060F02HR
(7) Using the jack handle, turn the re- lease valve counterclockwise slow to lower the ram, and then take outthe jack. o This jack is hydraulic, and the ram
is a two-stage type. When both rams are raised and the stop mark(Green paint) of the upperram becomes visible, stop jack- ing immediately. Further exten- sion of the ram may damage thejack.
o When the jack is used, be sure that
there is no one in or under thevehicle.
o When jacking up the vehicle, do
so only until the tires are slightlylifted from the ground. It is dan- gerous to jack up the vehicle more than that much.
o It is very dangerous if the jack somehow slips, so never leave thevehicle in the jacked-up position,and never shake the vehicle while it is raised.

D060G02Y-AAT 6. Changing Wheels Loosen the wheel nuts and remove them with your fingers. Slide the wheel off the studs and lay it flat so it cannotroll away. To put the wheel on the hub, pick up the spare tire, line up the holes with the studs and slide the wheel ontothem. If this is difficult, tip the wheel slightly and get the top hole in the wheel lined up with the top stud. Thenjiggle the wheel back and forth until the wheel can be slid over the other studs. D060G02HR
WARNING:
Wheel 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 thewheel from fitting solidly against the hub. If there is, remove it. If there is not good contact on themounting surface between the wheel and hub, the wheel nuts could loosen and cause the loss of awheel. Loss of a wheel may result in loss of control of the vehicle. This may cause serious injury or death.
D060G01HR
WARNING:
Do not get under the car when it is supported by the jack! This is very dangerous as the vehicle could falland cause serious injury or death. No one should stay in the car while the jack is being used.
