Removing the Flat Tire and
Installing the Spare Tire

1. Do a safety check before

proceeding. See

If a Tire Goes

Flat on page 10

58

for more

information.

2. If the vehicle has a wheel cover,

loosen the plastic nut caps with
the wheel wrench. They will not
come off. Then, using the flat
end of the wheel wrench, pry
along the edge of the cover until
it comes off. Be careful; the
edges may be sharp. Do not try
to remove the cover with your
bare hands.

Store the wheel cover securely
in the rear of the vehicle until
you have the flat tire repaired or
replaced.

If the vehicle has aluminum
wheels, remove the wheel nut
caps using the wheel wrench.

3. Loosen the wheel nuts

but do

not remove them

using the

lug wrench. For wheels with a
wheel lock key, use the wheel
lock key between the lock nut
and lug wrench. The key is
supplied in the front passenger
door pocket.

Notice:

If this vehicle has wheel

locks and an impact wrench is
used to remove the wheel nuts,
the lock nut or wheel lock key
could be damaged. Do not use an
impact wrench to remove the
wheel nuts if this vehicle has
wheel locks.

4. To identify the appropriate

jacking location, find the
triangle (A) about 12 inches
(30.5 cm) from the front tire
or (B) about 10.5 inches (27 cm)
from the rear tire.
