WARNING (Continued)
To help avoid personal injury and
vehicle damage, be sure to fit the
jack lift head into the proper
location before raising the
vehicle.
6. Attach the lug wrench to the
jack, and turn the wrench
clockwise to raise the jack head
3 inches (7.6 cm).
7. Place the jack under the vehicle
as identified in Step 4. Raise the
vehicle by turning the lug wrench
clockwise in the jack. Raise the
vehicle far enough off the
ground so that there is enough
room for the spare tire to fit
under the wheel well.
8. Remove all the wheel nuts and
the flat tire.
9. Remove the plastic spare tire
heat shield by pulling the rubber
latch. Store the plastic spare tire
heat shield. See “Storing a Flat
or Spare Tire and Tools” later in
this section for more information.

WARNING
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 If a Tire Goes Flat
on page 10‑57

WARNING
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.
