Block the wheel diagonally opposite the flat tire to keep the vehicle from rolling when it is jacked up. When blocking
the wheel, place a wheel block in front of one of the front wheels or behind one of the rear wheels.
Make sure to set the jack properly in the jacking point. Raising the vehicle with improperly positioned jack will
damage the underbody of vehicle or may allow the vehicle to fall off the jack and cause personal injury.
•
Use the jack only for lifting your vehicle during wheel changing
•
Do not raise the jack with someone in the vehicle.
•
When raising the vehicle, do not place any objects on top of or underneath the jack.
•
Raise the vehicle only high enough to remove and change the wheel.
•
Follow jacking instructions
•
Do not start or run the engine while your vehicle is supported by the jack.
Never get under the vehicle when the vehicle is supported by the jack alone.
Remove the wheel nuts. Lift the flat tire straight off and place it aside. Roll the spare wheel into position and align the
holes in the wheel with the bolts. Lift up the wheel and get at least the top bolt started through its hole. Wiggle the
wheel and press it back over the other bolts.
Re-install the wheel nuts with the tapered end inward and tighten by hand. Press the wheel inward and tighten the
wheel nuts further.
Never use oil or grease on the bolts or nuts. Doing so may lead to over tightening the nuts, wheel nut spanner slip,
damage the bolts and also may cause personal injuries. Also, nuts may loosen and the wheels may fall off, which
could cause a serious accident. If there is oil or grease on any bolt or nut, clean before installing wheel nuts.
Lower the vehicle completely and tighten the diagonally opposite wheel nuts using the wheel nut spanner. Turn the
jack handle extension counter clockwise using the jack handle to lower the vehicle, making sure the handle remains
firmly fitted onto the jack handle extension. Make sure the wheel spanner is securely engaged over the nut. Tighten
each nut a little at a time in the diagonally opposite order. Repeat the process until all the nuts are tight. Do not use
other tools or any additional leverage other than your hands, such as a hammer, pipe or your foot.
