Changing a Flat Tire
If a tire goes flat while driving, grasp the steering wheel firmly, and brake gradually
to reduce speed. Stop in a safe place. Replace the flat tire with the compact spare
tire. Go to a dealer as soon as possible to have the full-size tire repaired or replaced.
Getting Ready to Change the Tire
Park the vehicle on a firm, level, non-slippery surface. Move the shift lever to Park
(P), and apply the parking brake. Turn the hazard warning lights on and turn the
vehicle off.
1. Open the tailgate. Turn on the cargo lights on
the inside of the tailgate, if necessary (see page
34). Open the cargo area floor lid.
2. Take the wheel nut wrench and jack handle bar
out of the cargo area.
3. Unscrew the wing bolt, and remove the spacer
cone. Then, remove the spare tire.
4. Take the jack out of the spare tire area.
5. Loosen each wheel nut about one turn using the
wheel nut wrench.

Setting Up the Jack
1. Place the jack under the jacking point closest to
the tire to be changed.
2. Turn the end bracket (as shown in the image)
clockwise until the top of the jack contacts the
jacking point. Make sure that the jacking point
tab is resting in the jack notch.
3. Raise the vehicle, using the jack handle bar and
the jack handle, until the tire is off the ground.
The following instructions must be followed to use the jack safely:
• Do not use the jack with people or luggage in the vehicle.
• Use the jack provided in your vehicle. Other jacks may not support the weight
(“load”) or fit the jacking point.
• Do not use while the engine is running.
• Use only where the ground is firm and level.
• Use only at the jacking points.
• Do not get in the vehicle while using the jack.
• Do not put anything on top of or underneath the jack.
The vehicle can easily roll off the jack, seriously injuring anyone underneath.
Follow the directions for changing a tire exactly, and never get under the
vehicle when it is supported only by the jack.

Replacing the Flat Tire
1. Remove the wheel nuts and flat tire.
2. Mount the compact spare tire. Replace the wheel
nuts, and lightly tighten them.
3. Lower the vehicle and remove the jack. Tighten
the wheel nuts in the order indicated in the
image. Go around, tightening the nuts, two to
three times in this order. Do not overtighten the
wheel nuts.
Storing the Flat Tire
1. Remove the center cap and place the flat tire
face up in the spare tire well.
2. Remove the spacer cone from the wing bolt for
the spare tire, and insert the wing bolt for the
regular tire back on the bolt. Secure the flat tire
with the wing bolt.
3. Securely store the jack and wheel nut wrench
back in the tool case. Store the case in the cargo
area.
Loose items can fly around the interior in a crash and can seriously injure the
occupants.
Store the wheel, jack, and tools securely before driving.
