Tire Change Procedure (If Equipped) WARNINGS
When one of the front wheels is off the
ground, the transmission alone will not
prevent the vehicle from moving or slipping
off the jack, even if the transmission is in park
(P). WARNINGS
To help prevent your vehicle from
moving when you change a tire, be
sure to place the transmission in park (P), set
the parking brake and block (in both
directions) the wheel that is diagonally
opposite (other side and end of the vehicle)
to the tire being changed. Never get underneath a vehicle that is
supported only by a jack. If your vehicle
slips off the jack, you or someone else could
be seriously injured. Do not attempt to change a tire on the
side of the vehicle close to moving
traffic. Pull far enough off the road to avoid
the danger of being hit when operating the
jack or changing the wheel. Always use the jack provided as
original equipment with your vehicle.
If using a jack other than the one provided
as original equipment with your vehicle,
make sure the jack capacity is adequate for
the vehicle weight, including any vehicle
cargo or modifications. Note:
Passengers should not remain in your
vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked.
Type 1
1. Park on a level surface, set the parking brake and activate the hazard flashers.
2. Place the transmission in park (P) and turn the engine off. For vehicles with a
manual transmission, place the
transmission in reverse (R) after the
engine is turned off. 3.
Block both the front and rear of the wheel
diagonally opposite the flat tire. For
example, if the left front tire is flat, block
the right rear wheel.

11. Remove the lug nuts with the lug
wrench.
12. Replace the flat tire with the spare tire,
making sure the valve stem is facing
outward. Reinstall the lug nuts until the
wheel is snug against the hub. Do not
fully tighten the lug nuts until the wheel
has been lowered. If you are using the
temporary tire, the lug nut washers will
not appear to be flush with the rim. This
is normal only when using the
temporary spare tire.
13. Lower the wheel by turning the jack handle counterclockwise. 14. Remove the jack and fully tighten the
lug nuts in the order shown.
15. Put the flat tire, jack and lug wrench away. Make sure the jack is fastened
securely before you drive.
16. Unblock the wheel.
Type 2
1. Park on a level surface, set the parking brake and activate the hazard flashers. 2. Place the transmission in park (P) and
turn the engine off. For vehicles with a
manual transmission, place the
transmission in reverse (R) after the

Block both the front and rear of the wheel
diagonally opposite the flat tire. For
example, if the left front tire is flat, block
the right rear wheel.
4. Remove the carpeted wheel cover.
5. Remove the spare tire bolt securing the spare tire by turning it counterclockwise.

compartment.
