{ CAUTION
Lifting a vehicle and getting under
it to do maintenance or repairs is
dangerous without the appropriate
safety equipment and training. If a
jack is provided with the vehicle, it
is designed only for changing a
flat tire. If it is used for anything
else, you or others could be badly
injured or killed if the vehicle slips
off the jack. If a jack is provided
with the vehicle, only use it for
changing a flat tire.
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.
7. Remove all of the wheel nuts.
8. Remove the flat tire.
9. Remove any rust or dirt from the
wheel bolts, mounting surfaces
and spare wheel.
{ CAUTION
Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on the
parts to which it is fastened, can
make wheel nuts become loose
after time. The wheel could come
off and cause an accident. When
changing a wheel, remove any
rust or dirt from places where the
wheel attaches to the vehicle. In
an emergency, use a cloth or a
paper towel to do this; but be sure
to use a scraper or wire brush
later, if needed, to get all the rust
or dirt off. See Changing a Flat
Tire on page 5-64.
10. Place the compact spare tire on
the wheel-mounting surface.
11. Reinstall the wheel nuts. Tighten
each nut by hand until the wheel
is held against the hub.
{ CAUTION
Never use oil or grease on bolts
or nuts because the nuts might
come loose. The vehicle’s wheel
could fall off, causing a crash.
12. Lower the vehicle by turning the
jack handle counterclockwise.
