Removing the Flat Tire and
Installing the Spare Tire
1. If your vehicle is equipped with plastic wheel
covers, use the wheel wrench to loosen the plastic
wheel nut caps.
Once you have loosened the plastic wheel nut caps
with the wheel wrench, you can finish loosening
them with your fingers. The plastic nut caps do not
come off.
2. Using the flat end of the wheel wrench, pry along
the edge of the wheel cover until it comes off.
If your vehicle has aluminum wheels, first remove
the center cap with your finger or the wheel wrench.
3. Use the wheel wrench to loosen all the wheel nuts.
Don’t remove them yet.
Notice: Make sure that the jack lift head is in the
correct position or you may damage your vehicle.
The repairs would not be covered by your warranty.
4. Position the jack lift head at the jack location
nearest the flat tire. The front location is about
8 inches (20 cm) rearward from the front wheel
opening. The rear location is about 4 inches (10 cm)
forward of the rear wheel opening.
