10-70 Vehicle Care

5. If you still cannot lower the

spare tire to the ground, see

Secondary Latch System

on

page 10‑77

.

Removing the Flat Tire and

Installing the Spare Tire

1. Do a safety check before

proceeding. See If a Tire Goes

Flat

on page 10‑58

for more

information.

2. If the vehicle has a wheel cover,

loosen the plastic nut caps with

the wheel wrench. They will not

come off. Then, using the flat

end of the wheel wrench, pry

along the edge of the cover until

it comes off. Be careful; the

edges may be sharp. Do not try

to remove the cover with your

bare hands.

Store the wheel cover securely

in the rear of the vehicle until

you have the flat tire repaired

or replaced.

If the vehicle has aluminum

wheels, remove the wheel nut

caps using the wheel wrench.

3. Loosen the wheel nuts — but do

not remove them — using the

lug wrench. For wheels with a

wheel lock key, use the wheel

lock key between the lock nut

and lug wrench. The key is

supplied in the front passenger

door pocket.

Notice: If this vehicle has wheel

locks and an impact wrench is

used to remove the wheel nuts,

the lock nut or wheel lock key

could be damaged. Do not use

an impact wrench to remove the

wheel nuts if this vehicle has

wheel locks.

4. To identify the appropriate

jacking location, find the

triangle (A) about 12 inches

(30.5 cm) from the front tire

or (B) about 10.5 inches (27 cm)

from the rear tire.

The triangle is located near each

wheel on the vehicle's exterior.
