Removing the Flat Tire and Installing
the Spare Tire
1. Do a safety check before proceeding. See
Changing a Flat Tire
on page 6‑85
for more
information.
2. For models having aluminum wheels with a
center wheel cover, use the flat end of the wheel
wrench to gently pry the wheel covers off. Store
the wheel cover and lug nut caps in the trunk
until you have the flat tire repaired or replaced.
Be careful not to scratch the aluminum wheel
edge and do not try to remove it with your hands.
Then loosen the wheel nuts with the wheel wrench.
Do not remove them yet.
3. For models with exposed lug nuts, loosen them
using the wheel wrench. Do not remove them yet.
