Changing a Road Wheel 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). 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.
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 ®) 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.
4. Remove the carpeted wheel cover.
5. Remove the spare tire bolt securing the
spare tire by turning it
counterclockwise.
6. Remove the spare tire from the spare tire compartment. 7. Remove the lug wrench and jack from
the spare tire compartment.

8. To remove the wrench from the jack,
turn the hex nut on the jack
counterclockwise. This will lower the
jack and loosen the mechanical lock. 9.
If your vehicle has a wheel trim, use the
tool supplied to remove it and access
the lug nuts.
10. Loosen each wheel lug nut one-half turn counterclockwise, but do not
remove them until the wheel is raised
off the ground. 11.
The vehicle jacking points are shown
here, and can be identified by the
triangle markings on the molding. The
triangle marking may be located on
the side or the underside of the
molding. The jacking points are
identified on vehicles without
moldings by a pair of arrows on the
metal flange pointing to the jacking
point between them. Details are
depicted on the warning label on the
jack. 12. Place the jack at the jacking point
next to the tire you are changing. Turn
the jack handle clockwise until the
wheel is completely off the ground.
13. Remove the lug nuts with the lug wrench.

14. 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.
15. Lower the wheel by turning the jack handle counterclockwise. 16.
Remove the jack and fully tighten the
lug nuts in the order shown.  See
Technical Specifications (page

17. To store the folded wrench on the
jack, engage the bracket of the jack
base on the wrench feature as shown.
Swing the wrench upward and adjust
the height of the jack until the pin
engages the hole. Tighten the hex nut
clockwise by hand until secure.
18. Put the flat tire, jack and lug wrench away. Make sure the jack is fastened
securely before you drive.
19. Unblock the wheel.
Stowing the Flat Tire You can temporarily stow the full-size road
wheel in the spare tire compartment.
1. Lift the carpeted wheel cover at an
angle to access the spare tire
compartment.
2. Place the wheel in the spare tire well with the valve stem facing down. 3. Install the shorter jack retainer bolt to
the jack bolt-down bracket through the
centre of the wheel. Finally, wind the
wheel retainer down to secure the
wheel in place.
4. Place the jack and tools back into the spare tire compartment.
5. Replace the carpeted wheel cover.
Stowing the Flat Tire Using the
Retainer Strap (If Equipped)
You can temporarily stow the full-size road
wheel in the spare tire compartment.
1. Find the flat tire retainer strap tucked inside the jack channel. 2. Locate the jack bolt-down bracket.
Push the retainer strap through the jack
bolt-down bracket.
3. Put the jack and lug wrench away. Make sure the jack is fastened so it
does not rattle when you drive.
4. Stow the flat tire on the floor in the cargo area.
5. Weave the retainer strap through the wheel openings.
