Changing a Road Wheel Procedure WARNING:
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).

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 you turn
the engine 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. The spare tire, jack, and wrench are in the spare tire compartment under the
trunk load floor.
5. Remove the spare tire bolt securing the spare tire by turning it counterclockwise. 6.
Remove the spare tire, jack, and wrench
from the spare tire compartment. 7. Turn the hex nut on the jack
counterclockwise to remove the lug
wrench from the jack. This lowers the
jack and loosens the mechanical lock. 8. Unfold the wrench for use.
9. If your vehicle has wheel trim covering
the lug nuts, use the tool attached to the
spare wheel retainer to remove the wheel
trim.

10.
If jacking on the roadside shoulder, set
the warning triangle upright on the
shoulder in the direction of oncoming
traffic if the vehicle has a warning
triangle.
11. Loosen each wheel lug nut one-half turn counterclockwise, but do not
remove them until you raise the wheel
off the ground. 12. You can identify the vehicle jacking
points by the triangle markings on the
molding as shown. The triangle marking
may be on the side or the underside of
the molding. On vehicles without
moldings, a pair of arrows on the metal
flange pointing to the jacking point
between them identifies the jacking
points. The warning label on the jack
depicts the details. 13.
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. 14. Remove the lug nuts with the lug
wrench.
15. 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 you lower
the wheel. If you are using the
temporary tire, the lug nut washers do
not appear to be flush with the rim. This
is normal only when using the
temporary spare tire.
16. Lower the wheel by turning the jack handle counterclockwise.
17. Remove the jack and fully tighten the lug nuts in the order shown. See
Technical Specifications (page 363).

18.
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. 19. Put the flat tire, jack and lug wrench
away. Make sure the jack is fastened
securely before you drive.
20. Unblock the wheel and retrieve the warning triangle. Stowing the Flat Tire Without the
Retainer Strap
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
center 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 you fasten the jack 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. 6. Secure the flat tire by tying a flat knot.
