Preparing to Change the Tire
1.
Make sure that your vehicle will not move
or roll. If you have an automatic transaxle,
put the gearshift in P (Park). If you have a
manual transaxle, put the gearshift in 1
(First). Set the parking brake and block the
wheel that is diagonally opposite the tire
that you are changing.
Blocking the wheel diagonally opposite the tire being
changed
When one of the front wheels is off the ground,
the transaxle alone will not prevent the vehicle
from moving or slipping off the jack, even if the
vehicle is in P (Park) or 1 (First). To prevent the
vehicle from moving when you change one of
the front tires, put a block behind the wheel that
is diagonally opposite to the tire.

WARNING
If the vehicle slips off the jack, you or
someone else could be seriously injured.

Remove any wheelcovers or hubcaps with
the tapered end of a wheel nut wrench.
Insert the handle of the wrench and twist it
against the inner wheelcover flange. Remove
any chrome nuts or plastic caps covering the
wheel lug nuts.
4.
Loosen the wheel lug nuts by pulling up on
the handle of the wrench one half-turn
counterclockwise. Do not remove the wheel
lug nuts until you raise the tire off the
ground.
Removing and Replacing the Tire
1.
Find the jack notch next to the door of the
tire that you are changing. Put the jack in
the jack notch and turn the handle of the
jack clockwise until the wheel is completely
off the ground.

WARNING
To lessen the risk of personal injury, do
not put any part of your body under the
vehicle while changing a tire. Do not start
the engine when your vehicle is on the
jack. The jack is only meant for changing
the tire.
