Tire Changing

Removing the Spare Tire and
Tools

The equipment you need is located
in the trunk.

1. Open the trunk.

2. Remove the spare tire cover.

3. Turn the retainer nut

counterclockwise and remove
the spare tire.

4. Place the spare tire next to the

tire being changed.

5. The jack and tools are stored

below the spare tire. Remove
them from their container and
place them near the tire being
changed.

Removing the Flat Tire and
Installing the Spare Tire

1. Do a safety check before

proceeding. See

If a Tire Goes

Flat on page 9

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.
