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.
Before Changing the Tire
1. Park the vehicle on a firm, level, non-slippery surface.
2. Put the vehicle in Park (P), and apply the parking brake.
3. Turn on the hazard warning lights and turn the vehicle off.
Getting Ready to Change the Tire
1. Open the trunk floor lid.
2. Take the tool case out of the trunk. Take the
jack and wheel nut wrench out of the tool
case.
3. Unscrew the wing bolt, and remove the spacer
cone. Then, remove the spare tire.
4. Place the compact spare tire wheel side up
under the vehicle body, near the tire that
needs to be replaced.
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 clockwise (as shown in
the image) until the top of the jack contacts
the jacking point. Make sure that the jacking
point tab is resting in the jack notch. Do not
overextend the jack.
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.
