IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY
500
6. After making sure no one is in the vehicle, raise
it high enough so that the spare tire can be
installed.
Allow for the fact that you need more ground
clearance when putting on the spare tire than when
removing the flat tire.
To raise the vehicle, insert the jack handle extension
into the jack (it is a loose fit) and turn it clockwise
with the handle, making sure the handle remains firmly
fitted onto the jack handle extension. As the jack
touches the vehicle and begins to lift, double-check
that it is properly positioned.
CAUTION
Never get under the vehicle when the vehicle
is supported by the jack alone.
7. Remove the wheel nuts and remove the flat tire.
Lift the flat tire straight off and put it aside.
Roll the spare wheel into position and align the holes
in the wheel with the bolts. Then lift up the wheel
and get at least the top bolt started through its hole.
Wiggle the tire and press it back over the other bolts.
