If needed, use the flat end of the wheel wrench and pry
along the edge of the cover until it comes off. The edge
of the wheel cover could be sharp, so do not try to
remove it with your bare hands. Do not drop the cover
or lay it face down, as it could become scratched or
damaged. Store the wheel cover in the trunk until the
flat tire is repaired or replaced.
Once you have removed the wheel cover, use the
following procedure to remove the flat tire and install
the spare tire.
1. Do a safety check before proceeding.
See Changing a Flat Tire on page 6‑75.
Turn the wheel wrench counterclockwise once on
each wheel nut to loosen them. Do not remove
them yet.
3. For all wheel types, find the jacking location using
the diagram above and the corresponding jacking
notches located on the bottom side of the plastic
molding. The notches in the plastic molding are
marked with a triangle shape to help you find them.
The front location is about 7.0 inches (17.7 cm)
from the rear edge of the front wheel well. The rear
location is about 4.5 inches (11.4cm) from the front
edge of the rear wheel well.
4. Put the compact spare tire near you.
