Vehicle Care

{

Warning

Lifting a vehicle and getting under it to
do maintenance or repairs is dangerous
without the appropriate safety equipment
and training. If a jack is provided with
the vehicle, it is designed only for
changing a flat tire. If it is used for
anything else, you or others could be
badly injured or killed if the vehicle slips
off the jack. If a jack is provided with the
vehicle, only use it for changing a
flat tire.

6. Turn the wheel wrench clockwise to raise

the vehicle far enough off the ground so
there is enough room for the spare tire
to fit underneath the wheel well.

7. Turn the wheel nuts counterclockwise to

remove them.

8. Remove the flat tire.

{

Warning

Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on the
parts to which it is fastened, can
cause wheel nuts to become loose
over time. The wheel could come off

(Continued)

Warning (Continued)

and cause a crash. When changing a
wheel, remove any rust or dirt from
places where the wheel attaches to
the vehicle. In an emergency, a cloth
or paper towel can be used; however,
use a scraper or wire brush later to
remove all rust or dirt.

9. Remove any rust or dirt from the wheel

bolts, mounting surfaces, and spare
wheel.

10. Place the spare tire on the

wheel-mounting surface.

{

Warning

Never use oil or grease on bolts or nuts
because the nuts might come loose. The
vehicle's wheel could fall off, causing a
crash.

11. Reinstall the wheel nuts. Turn each nut

clockwise, by hand, until the wheel is
held against the hub.

12. Lower the vehicle by turning the wheel

wrench counterclockwise. Lower the jack
completely.

{

Warning

Wheel nuts that are improperly or
incorrectly tightened can cause the
wheels to become loose or come off. The
wheel nuts should be tightened with a
torque wrench to the proper torque
specification after replacing. Follow the
torque specification supplied by the
aftermarket manufacturer when using
accessory locking wheel nuts. See
