jack notch next to the
tire you are changing.

part of your body
under the vehicle
while changing a tire.

the tire.

7. Replace the flat tire with the spare tire, making
sure the valve stem is facing outward. Reinstall lug
nuts until the wheel is snug against the hub. Do not
fully tighten the lug nuts until the wheel has been
lowered.

washers will not appear to be flush with the rim.
This is normal only when using the temporary spare
tire.
