•Never attempt vehicle repairs
in the traffic lanes of a public
road or highway.
•Always move the vehicle com-
pletely off the road and onto
the shoulder before trying to
change a tyre. The jack should
be used on firm level ground.
If you cannot find a firm level
place off the road, call a tow-
ing service company for
assistance.
•Be sure to use the correct
front and rear jacking posi-
tions on the vehicle; never
use the bumpers or any other
part of the vehicle for jacking
support.
•The vehicle can easily roll off
the jack causing serious
injury or death.

7. Place the jack at the designated
jacking position under the frame
closest to the tyre you are chang-
ing. The jacking positions are
plates welded to the frame with
two notches and two dimples.

and turn it clockwise, raising the
vehicle until the tyre clears the
ground. Make sure the vehicle is
stable on the jack.

nut wrench and remove them with
your fingers. Remove the wheel
from the studs and lay it flat on the
ground out of the way. Remove
any dirt or debris from the studs,
mounting surfaces, and wheel.
10. Install the spare tyre onto the
studs of the hub.
11. Tighten the lug nuts with your fin-
gers onto the studs with the
smaller end of the lug nuts clos-
est to the wheel.
