WARNING: To help prevent your
vehicle from moving when changing a
wheel, shift the transmission into park (P),
set the parking brake and use an
appropriate block or wheel chock to
secure the wheel diagonally opposite to
the wheel being changed. For example,
when changing the front left wheel, place
an appropriate block or wheel chock on
the right rear wheel. WARNING:
Do not work on your
vehicle when the jack is the only support.
If the vehicle slips off the jack, you or
someone else could be seriously injured. WARNING:
Check that the vehicle
jack is not damaged or deformed and the
thread is lubricated and clean. WARNING:
Never place anything
between the vehicle jack and your vehicle. WARNING:
Never place anything
between the vehicle jack and the ground. WARNING: 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. WARNING:
Park your vehicle so that
you do not obstruct the flow of traffic or
place yourself in any danger and set up a
warning triangle. WARNING:
The jack supplied with
this vehicle is only intended for changing
wheels. Do not use the vehicle jack other
than when you are changing a wheel in an
emergency. WARNING:
Always use the jack
provided as original equipment with your
vehicle. If using a jack other than the one
provided, make sure the jack capacity is
adequate for the vehicle weight, including
any vehicle cargo or modifications. If you
are unsure if the jack capacity is adequate,
contact the authorized dealer. WARNING:
Use only the specified
jacking points. If you use other positions,
you may damage the body, steering,
suspension, engine, braking system or the
fuel lines. WARNING:
Failure to follow these
guidelines could result in an increased risk
of loss of vehicle control, injury or death. Note:

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).
