raise the spare tire into the storage area. Continue
to rotate the jack-handle assembly until you hear
the winch mechanism click three times. It cannot be
over tightened. Push against the tire several times to
be sure it is held securely in place.
JACKING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
Carefully follow these tire changing
w
arnings to help prevent personal injury
or damage to your vehicle:
Always park on a firm, level surface as far from the
edge of the roadway as possible before raising the
vehicle.
Turn on the Hazard Warning flashers.
Block the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel
to be raised.
Set the parking brake firmly and set an auto-
matic transmission in PARK; a manual transmis-
sion in REVERSE.
Never start or run the engine with the vehicle
on a jack.
Do not let anyone sit in the vehicle when it is
on a jack.
(Continued)(Continued)
Do not get under the vehicle when it is on a
jack. If you need to get under a raised vehicle,
take it to a service center where it can be raised
on a lift .
Only use the jack in the positions indicated
and for lifting this vehicle during a tire change.
If working on or near a roadway, be extremely
careful of motor traffic .
To assure that spare tires, flat or inflated, are
securely stowed, spares must be stowed with the
valve stem facing the ground.

Do not attempt to raise the vehicle by
jacking on locations other than those
indicated in the Jacking Instructions for
this vehicle.
(fig. 154)
1. Remove the spare tire, jack, and jack-handle from stowage.
2. Loosen, but do not remove, the wheel nuts on the wheel with the flat tire. Turn the wheel nuts coun-
terclockwise one turn while the wheel is still on the
ground.
3. Place the jack underneath the lift area that is closest to the flat tire. Center the jack saddle between the drain flute formations on the sill flange. Turn the
jack screw clockwise to firmly engage the jack saddle
with the lift area of the sill flange. (fig. 155)
(fig. 156)
4. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack screw clock- wise with the jack handle. Raise the vehicle until the
tire just clears the road surface and enough clear-
ance is obtained to install the spare tire. Minimum
tire lift provides maximum stability.

NOTE:
For vehicles so equipped, do not attempt to install acenter cap or wheel cover on the compact spare.
Refer to “Compact Spare Tire” and to “Limited-Use Spare” under “Tires — General Information” in
“Technical Specifications” for additional warnings,
cautions, and information about the spare tire, its
use, and operation.
7. Install the wheel nuts with the cone-shaped end of the nut toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the wheel
nuts.
WARNING!
To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle
of
f the jack, do not tighten the wheel
nuts fully until the vehicle has been lowered.
Failure to follow this warning may result in per-
sonal injury.
8. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw coun- terclockwise with the jack handle.
9. 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 130 N·m. If in doubt
about the correct tightness, have them checked with a torque wrench by you authorized dealer or
service station.
10. Lower the jack to its fully closed position.
11. Place the deflated (flat) tire in the cargo area. Do
not stow the deflated tire in the spare tire
stowage location. Have the deflated (flat) tire
repaired or replaced as soon as possible.
12. To stow the winch cable and retainer, fit the assembled jack-handle over the winch drive nut.
Rotate the jack-handle assembly clockwise until
you hear the winch mechanism click three times. It
cannot be over tightened.
13. Stow the jack-handle and jack. Remove the wheel blocks from the vehicle and release the park brake.
14. Check the tire pressure as soon as possible. Adjust the tire pressure as required.
ROAD TIRE INSTALLATION
Vehicles Equipped With Wheel Covers
1. Mount the road tire on the axle.
2.
To ease the installation process for steel wheels with
wheel covers, install two lug nuts on the mounting
studs which are on each side of the valve stem. Install
the lug nuts with the cone shaped end of the nut
toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the lug nuts.

where provided)
Small punctures up to 6 mm in the tire tread can be
sealed with TIREFIT. Foreign objects (e.g., screws or
nails) should not be removed from the tire. TIREFIT
can be used in outside temperatures down to approxi-
mately 20°C.
This kit will provide a temporary tire seal, allowing you
to drive your vehicle up to 160 km with a maximum
speed of 88 km/h.
TIREFIT Storage
The TIREFIT kit is located in the trunk.

(Continued)
A loose TIREFIT kit thrown forward in a colli-
sion or hard stop could endanger the occupants
of the vehicle. Always stow the TIREFIT kit in the
place provided. Failure to follow these warnings
can result in injuries that are serious or fatal to
you, your passengers, and others around you.
Take care not to allow the contents of TIREFIT
to come in contact with hair, eyes, or clothing.
TIREFIT is harmful if inhaled, swallowed, or ab-
sorbed through the skin: It causes skin, eye, and
respiratory irritation. Flush immediately with
plenty of water if there is any contact with eyes
or skin. Change clothing as soon as possible, if
there is any contact with clothing.
TIREFIT Sealant solution contains latex. In
case of allergic reaction or rash, consult a physi-
cian immediately. Keep TIREFIT out of reach of
children. If swallowed, rinse mouth immediately
with plenty of water and drink plenty of water.
Do not induce vomiting! Consult a physician im-
mediately.
Use the gloves provided in the Accessory Stor-
age Compartment (located on the bottom of the
air pump) when operating the TIREFIT kit . Sealing A Tire With TIREFIT
If the sealant (white fluid) does flow
through the
Sealant Hose (6):
1. Continue to operate the pump until sealant is no longer flowing through hose (typically takes 30 - 70
seconds). As the sealant flows through the Sealant
Hose (6), the Pressure Gauge (3) can read as high as
5 Bar. The Pressure Gauge (3) will decrease quickly
from approximately 5 Bar to the actual tire pressure
when the Sealant Bottle (1) is empty.
2. The pump will start to inject air into the tire immediately after the Sealant Bottle (1) is empty.
Continue to operate the pump and inflate the tire
to the pressure indicated on the tire pressure label
on the driver-side latch pillar (recommended pres-
sure). Check the tire pressure by looking at the
Pressure Gauge (3).
If the tire does not inflate to at least 1.8 Bar
pressure within 15 minutes:
The tire is too badly damaged. Do not attempt to drive the vehicle further. Call for assistance.
NOTE: If the tire becomes over-inflated, press the
Deflation Button to reduce the tire pressure to the
recommended inflation pressure before continuing.
