Removing the Flat Tire and
Installing the Spare Tire
1. Do a safety check before
proceeding. See
for more
information.
2. Turn the wheel wrench
counterclockwise to loosen and
remove the wheel nut caps.
If needed, finish loosening them
by hand. The nut caps will not
come off of the wheel cover.
The edge of the wheel cover
could be sharp, so do not try to
remove the cover with your bare
hands. Do not drop the cap or
lay it face down, as it could
become scratched or damaged.
Store the wheel cover in the
trunk until you have the flat tire
repaired or replaced.
