3. Position the jack according to the
guides and turn the jack handle
clockwise until the tire is a
maximum of 1 inch (25 mm) off the
ground.
Be sure to place the jack away
from the rear edge of the rocker
to avoid damaging the rear tire
spoiler (pictured).
Never use the differentials as a
jacking point.
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.
4. Remove the lug nuts with the lug nut wrench.
5. Replace the flat tire with the spare tire, making sure the valve stem is
facing outward. Reinstall lug nuts until the wheel is snug against the hub.
Do not fully tighten the lug nuts until the wheel has been lowered.
6. Lower the wheel by turning the jack handle counterclockwise.
