Drive cautiously when using a full-size dissimilar spare tire and wheel, and seek service as soon as possible.

Tire Change Procedure

WARNING: When one of the front wheels is off the ground, the transmission alone will not prevent the vehicle from moving or

slipping off the jack, even if the transmission selector lever is in position P or N.

WARNING: To help prevent the vehicle from moving when you change a tire, be sure to place the transmission selector lever in

position P or N, set the parking brake and block (in both directions) the wheel that is diagonally opposite (other side and end of the vehicle) to the tire being changed.

WARNING: Never get underneath a vehicle that is supported only by a jack. If the vehicle slips off the jack, you or someone

else could be seriously injured.

Wheels and Tires

WARNING: 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.

WARNING: 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.

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 selector lever in position P or N and turn the engine off.

3. Remove the carpeted wheel cover. 4. Remove the wing nut and bolt assembly that secures the spare tire and jack by turning it counterclockwise.

5. Remove the lug wrench and jack from the foam holder.

6. Block the diagonally opposite wheel.

7. Loosen each wheel lug nut one-half turn counterclockwise but do not remove them until the wheel is raised off the ground.

8. The vehicle jacking points are shown here, and are depicted on the yellow warning label on the jack. Note: Jack at the specified locations to avoid damage to the vehicle.

9. Remove the lug nuts with the lug wrench. 10. Replace the flat tire with the spare tire, making sure the valve stem is facing outward. Reinstall the lug nuts until the wheel is snug against the hub. Do not fully tighten the lug nuts until the wheel has been lowered. 11. Lower the wheel by turning the jack handle counterclockwise.

12. Remove the jack and fully tighten the lug nuts in the order shown. See Wheel Lug Nut Torque Specifications in this chapter for the proper lug nut torque specification. 13. Put the flat tire, jack and lug wrench away. Make sure the jack is fastened so it does not rattle when you drive. Unblock the wheels.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Wheel Lug Nut Torque Specifications

WARNING: When a wheel is installed, always remove any corrosion, dirt or foreign materials present on the mounting

surfaces of the wheel or the surface of the wheel hub, brake drum or brake disc that contacts the wheel. Make sure that any fasteners that attach the rotor to the hub are secured so they do not interfere with the mounting surfaces of the wheel. Installing wheels without correct metal-to-metal contact at the wheel mounting surfaces can cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel to come off while the vehicle is in motion, resulting in loss of control.

Retighten the lug nuts to the specified torque within 100 miles (160 kilometers) after any wheel disturbance (such as tire rotation, changing a flat tire, wheel removal).
