Install the plastic wheel cover remover
to the lug wrench. Insert the wrench
end between the rim and the wheel
cover through the gaps and carefully
remove the cover.
9. Loosen each wheel lug nut one-half turn counterclockwise but do not
remove them until the wheel is raised
off the ground. 10. Arrows on the sill panel cover show
the location of the jacking points (A). 11. Align the slot on top of the jack with
the sheet metal flange indicated by
the jack locator triangle next to the
tire you are changing. Turn the jack
handle clockwise until the wheel is
completely off the ground.
Note: Passengers should not remain in the
vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked.
12. Remove the lug nuts with the lug wrench.

14. Lower the wheel by turning the jack
handle counterclockwise.15.
Remove the jack and fully tighten the
lug nuts in the order shown. Tighten
the lug nuts to the correct
specification. See Lug Nuts (page
335).
16. Fit the wheel cover onto the rim making sure the valve stem aligns
with the indent in the ring on the back
of the cover. Tap it with the palm of
your hand to lock it into place.
Stowing the Flat or Spare Tire
Do not raise the spare wheel carrier
without the wheel attached. Damage can
occur to the winch mechanism if lowered
without a wheel attached.
Note: Failure to follow spare tire stowage
instructions may result in failure of cable or
loss of spare tire.
Note: Do not lay alloy wheels face down
on the ground, this will damage the paint.
When stowing the flat tire use a sheet or
mat under the wheel to protect the paint.
1. Stow the flat or spare tire with the valve stem facing downward. 2. Slide the wheel partially under the
vehicle and install the retainer through
the wheel center. Pull on the cables to
align the components at the end of the
cables.
3. Attach the second cable by screwing the bolt into one of the holes in the
wheel.
4. Turn the end of the first cable so it fits through the slot and install the cable.
Then slide the cap over the retainer.
5. Turn the jack handle clockwise to raise
the tire to its stowed position
underneath the vehicle. The effort to
turn the jack handle increases
significantly when the tire is raised to
the maximum tightness. Tighten to the
best of your ability.
6. Check that the tire is flat against the frame and is fully tight. Try to push or
pull, then turn the tire to be sure it will
not move. Loosen and retighten, if
necessary. Failure to properly stow the
spare tire may result in failure of the
winch cable and loss of the tire.
7. Repeat this tightness check procedure
when servicing the spare tire pressure
(every six months, per scheduled
maintenance information), or at any
time that the spare tire is disturbed
through service of other components.
Return the jack and tools to the storage
position in the cargo area.
TIRE PRESSURES
The recommended tire inflation pressures
are on the tire information label on the
driver side B-pillar.
Check all tire pressures when they are cold,
at least once every two weeks.
Note: You may need to remove the spare
wheel from the spare wheel carrier to check
the tire pressure.

LUG NUTS
Wheel Lug Nut Torque Specifications WARNING: When you install a wheel, always remove any corrosion, dirt or foreign
materials present on the mounting surfaces of the wheel or the surface of the wheel
hub, brake drum or brake disc that contacts the wheel. Make sure to secure any fasteners
that attach the rotor to the hub so they do not interfere with the mounting surfaces of
the wheel. Installing wheels without correct metal-to-metal contact at the wheel
mounting surfaces can cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel to come off while
your vehicle is in motion, resulting in loss of vehicle control, personal injury or death. Ib-ft (Nm)

Retighten the lug nuts to the specified torque within 100 miles (160 kilometers) after any
wheel disturbance, for example tire rotation, changing a flat tire or wheel removal.
