Wheels and Tires

WARNINGS Do not attempt to change a tire on the side of the vehicle close to moving traffic. Pull far enough off the road to avoid the danger of being hit when operating the jack or changing the wheel. Always use the jack provided as original equipment with your vehicle. If using a jack other than the one provided as original equipment with your vehicle, make sure the jack capacity is adequate for the vehicle weight, including any vehicle cargo or modifications. Make sure there is no lubrication (grease or oil) on the threads or the surface between the wheel lugs and nuts. This can cause the lug nuts to loosen while driving. Note: Passengers should not remain in the vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked. 1. Park on a level surface, set the parking brake and activate the hazard flashers. 2. Place the transmission in park (P) (automatic transmission) or reverse (R) (manual transmission) and turn the engine off. 3. Remove the carpeted wheel cover. 4. Remove the spare tire bolt securing the spare tire by turning it counterclockwise. 5. Remove the spare tire from the spare tire compartment. 6.
