Removing the Flat Tire and
Installing the Spare Tire
1. Do a safety check before preceding. See Changing
a Flat Tire on page 6-80.
2. If your vehicle has 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.
3. If necessary, use the flat end of the wheel wrench
to pry along the edge of the wheel cover until it
comes off.
Store the wheel cover in the trunk until you have
the flat tire repaired or replaced.
4. Turn the wheel wrench counterclockwise to loosen
all the wheel nuts. Do not 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.
