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

wrench. For wheels with a wheel
lock key, use the wheel lock key
between the lock nut and
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 30.5 cm (12 in)
from the front tire or (B) about
27 cm (10.5 in) from the
rear tire.
